2025 Tudor Beasts Greyhound of Richmond 1/4oz Gold Coin
The 2025 Tudor Beasts Greyhound of Richmond 1/4oz Gold Coin is an official Royal Mint bullion coin struck from 1/4 troy ounce (7.78g) of .9999 fine gold. As part of the acclaimed Royal Tudor Beasts Collection, it offers an affordable way to own investment-grade physical gold while celebrating one of the most historic heraldic symbols of the Tudor dynasty.
The Greyhound of Richmond is the seventh bullion release in the Tudor Beasts series. Inherited by Henry VIII from the House of Lancaster, the Greyhound symbolises loyalty, courage and noble heritage. Today, its stone statue stands proudly on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace alongside the other Tudor Beasts.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the Greyhound of Richmond holding a shield bearing the Tudor Rose. The design is enhanced by The Royal Mint’s advanced surface animation security feature, providing additional protection against counterfeiting while creating a striking visual finish. The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
The quarter-ounce denomination is ideal for buyers who want the flexibility of owning physical gold with a lower initial outlay than a full one-ounce coin, whilst still benefiting from all the advantages of Royal Mint bullion.
