Description
2025 1 oz British Platinum Tudor Beasts Greyhound of Richmond Coin (BU)
The Tudor Dynasty held power in England from 1485 to 1603, overseeing its emergence from the medieval world into the cultural awakening of the Renaissance. This significant period included the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. In recognition of their legacy, The Royal Mint created the Tudor Beasts Series as a follow-up to the Queen’s Beasts, celebrating the dynasty’s rich heraldic symbolism. Today, 2025 1 oz British Platinum Tudor Beasts The Greyhound of Richmond Coins are available.

- Comes with an individual flip, a plastic tube of 10 coins, or a box of 100 coins!
- 7th BU beast design in the Tudor Beasts Series!
- Contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure platinum in BU condition.
- The face value of 100 Pound sterling (GBP) is fully backed by the British government.
- King Charles II on the obverse.
- Greyhound of Richmond supporting the Three Lions shield on the reverse.
The Tudors’ connection to the Greyhound of Richmond originated through Henry VII’s maternal lineage from the Beaufort family, who used the white greyhound as their emblem. When Henry claimed the throne in 1485, he deliberately incorporated his mother Margaret Beaufort’s heraldic badge to strengthen his somewhat tenuous royal claim. This greyhound subsequently became inseparable from Tudor iconography, appearing in royal portraits, architectural decorations, and official documents.
All 2025 1 oz British Platinum Tudor Beasts The Greyhound of Richmond Coins come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The platinum coins in this series are packaged in individual flips, plastic tubes of 10 coins, or boxes of 100 coins. Each box holds a total of 10 tubes.
2025 British Platinum Tudor Beasts The Greyhound of Richmond Coins include an obverse design featuring King Charles III. This debut portrait, created by Martin Jennings for The Royal Mint in late 2022, presents the king in a crownless left-profile view.
The heraldic reverse of the 2025 1 oz Platinum Tudor Beasts The Greyhound of Richmond Coins showcases the iconic Greyhound of Richmond posed behind a shield featuring the Three Lions. This powerful emblem served as a visual affirmation of the Tudors’ role in preserving England’s royal authority, a message that was prominently displayed in the palatial and literary arts of the period.
