About the Tudor Beasts Collection
The Royal Mint’s Tudor Beasts collection celebrates the ten magnificent heraldic beasts displayed on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. Commissioned by King Henry VIII, these sculptures represent the royal ancestry and power of the Tudor dynasty.
The Greyhound of Richmond is one of the best-known Tudor heraldic beasts, representing loyalty, courage and noble lineage. Historically linked to Henry VII, it became an enduring symbol of the Tudor claim to the English throne.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse features the Greyhound proudly holding a Tudor shield with an intricate chain mail security animation that enhances both the beauty and security of the coin.
Why Choose a 1/4oz Gold Coin?
The 1/4oz Gold Coin is one of the most popular choices for investors looking to build a physical gold portfolio gradually. It offers all the benefits of owning Royal Mint bullion while requiring a lower initial investment than a full one-ounce coin.
Many buyers choose fractional gold coins because they:
- Offer a more affordable entry into physical gold ownership
- Make it easier to build a collection over time
- Provide greater flexibility when selling in the future
- Contain internationally recognised investment-grade gold
- Are widely traded throughout the world
For many investors, fractional coins provide an ideal balance between affordability, liquidity and long-term wealth preservation.
