About the Tudor Beasts Collection
The Royal Mint’s Tudor Beasts collection celebrates the ten magnificent heraldic beasts that stand along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. Commissioned by King Henry VIII, these statues represent the royal ancestry and power of the Tudor dynasty.

Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse features the Greyhound holding a Tudor shield against an intricate chain mail security background. This innovative design enhances both the appearance and anti-counterfeiting security of the coin.
