About the Greyhound of Richmond
The Greyhound of Richmond is a heraldic beast closely associated with the House of Lancaster and later adopted by the Tudor dynasty through Henry VII. It symbolises loyalty, courage and noble heritage and stands among the famous heraldic beasts that line the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the Greyhound holding a shield bearing the Tudor Rose. The design also incorporates The Royal Mint’s advanced surface animation security feature, combining historic symbolism with modern anti-counterfeiting technology. The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
