The Official Successor to the Queen's Beasts — Get Positioned Early

The Royal Mint doesn't release a series like this often. The British Royal Tudor Beasts Gold Coins are the official successor to the Queen's Beasts series (2016–2021) — one of the most commercially successful modern Royal Mintprograms in recent memory. With 15+ years handling British gold, this series carries the same collector momentum with even stronger historical grounding. If you missed the Queen's Beasts early and watched those premiums climb, Tudor Beasts is your second chance to get positioned before the series concludes.

Struck in 99.99% fine gold, carrying legal tender face value under the Crown, and available in both Bullion (BU) and Proof finishes — whether you're accumulating gold by the ounce or building a presentation-quality collector set, there's a Tudor Beasts coin that belongs in your stack.

What Makes Tudor Beasts Different From Every Other Series

The Tudor Beasts designs are inspired by the ten heraldic statues lining the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace — the grand entrance Henry VIII used when receiving foreign dignitaries and hosting his court. These aren't generic heraldic animals pulled from a database. Each beast was assigned to a specific Tudor royal figure, meaning every coin in this series has a named person behind it and a documented historical story attached.

That specificity is what separates Tudor Beasts from most modern bullion series. You're not buying a design — you're buying a piece of documented Tudor history minted in 24-karat gold by Britain's oldest financial institution. The Royal Mint has operated continuously since 886 AD. There is no older mint in the English-speaking world.

 Overlooked Historical Fact

The Hampton Court statues that inspired this series were placed there by Henry VIII specifically to project dynastic power to foreign ambassadors arriving at court. Each beast carried a heraldic shield linking the animal to a royal bloodline. When you own a Tudor Beasts coin, you own a piece of political theater from the 1530s — recast in gold.

The Tudor Beasts Design Roster: Every Coin in the Series

Each release in the series celebrates a different Hampton Court heraldic beast. Here's what collectors and investors need to know about each one before they buy:

1

Seymour Panther

The opening release — and the strongest first-issue of any Royal Mint series since the 2016 Lion of England. The Seymour Panther was the personal heraldic beast of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third wife and the only queen consort who gave him a legitimate male heir (the future Edward VI). Depicted with flames issuing from its mouth and ears, holding a shield with the Seymour family's distinctive wings.

Dealer Pick

First issues carry the highest secondary premiums. The Seymour Panther is the one to own early.

2

Lion of England

The crowned golden Lion is one of the most recognized heraldic symbols in British history, appearing in the Royal Arms for centuries. As the first beast in the Tudor Beasts physical lineup at Hampton Court, it anchors the series.

For buyers new to British heraldic gold wanting a recognizable, liquid coin that holds value across both collector and bullion markets — this is the right entry point.

3

Bull of Clarence

The black Bull of Clarence carries a direct historical connection to George, Duke of Clarence — the brother of Edward IV who famously (according to legend) met his end drowned in a barrel of Malmsey wine. This beast ties directly to the House of York and the power struggle that preceded Tudor rule — the most politically charged design in the series.

Collectors who understand the Wars of the Roses context consistently seek this coin out.

4

Tudor Dragon

The Welsh Dragon represents Henry VII's Welsh ancestry and the very origin point of Tudor dynastic legitimacy. Henry Tudor's claim to the throne ran through his Welsh bloodline, and the red dragon was his battle standard at Bosworth in 1485.

If there is one coin in this series that captures the founding story of the Tudor dynasty in a single image, it is this one. A must-own for any complete collection.

5

Greyhound of Richmond

Tied to Henry VII's Earldom of Richmond before his ascent to the throne, the greyhound symbolizes loyalty and speed — qualities that served him well in outmaneuvering Yorkist rivals. The Richmond connection places this coin at the political prehistory of the Tudor era, before Henry VII became king. For buyers who prefer the underdog narrative, this is the coin that resonates.

Ryan Cochran — Dealer Insight

I tracked the Queen's Beasts Proof series from its 2016 launch through its 2021 conclusion. Early Proof issues — particularly the Lion of England and the Unicorn of Scotland — traded at modest collector premiums during the series. When the series closed and collectors scrambled to fill gaps in their sets, those early Proof premiums expanded significantly. If Tudor Beasts follows the same arc — and the early sell-through data suggests it will — the Seymour Panther Proof is the single highest-upside position in the series right now.

Buy Proof early; buy BU any time.


Tudor Beasts vs. Queen's Beasts: What Previous Collectors Need to Know

If you own any Queen's Beasts coins, you already understand the collector premium potential this series carries. Here's what's genuinely different about Tudor Beasts so you can make an informed decision about continuing your collection:


  • Different beast roster: While a few animals appear in both series (the Lion of England, the Bull of Clarence), the Tudor Beasts lineup is tied to specific named Tudor royal figures — not the ten heraldic champions from Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation. The historical framing is completely separate.

  • Hampton Court vs. Coronation inspiration: Queen's Beasts were based on the champion statues present at the coronation; Tudor Beasts are based on the Hampton Court Moat Bridge statues Henry VIII commissioned to project dynastic power. Two different locations, two different monarchs, two different eras.

  • Current size offerings: Tudor Beasts has focused on 1 oz and 1/4 oz gold denominations. Queen's Beasts offered broader fractional coverage including 1/2 oz and 1/10 oz. Note this difference when planning your acquisition strategy.

  • Reign change context: Tudor Beasts is the first major Royal Mint collector series to feature the effigy of King Charles III — adding a transition-of-reign historical layer to early issues that Queen's Beasts (released entirely under Queen Elizabeth II) did not carry.

Scarcity Economics — Overlooked Fact

The Queen's Beasts 1 oz gold series had a per-design mintage cap of 2,000 coins in Proof finish. At current gold prices , the entire authorized production run of each Proof Queen's Beasts design was worth under $5 million at face value. Scarcity at that level is what drives the collector secondary market. Tudor Beasts Proof mintages are in the same range — which means the scarcity economics that drove Queen's Beasts premiums will likely apply here too.

Ryan Cochran — BOLD Precious Metals · Final Verdict

"Tudor Beasts Gold Coins are the rare modern series where I give the same buy recommendation to both the gold investor and the collector at the same time — for completely different reasons. The investor gets 99.99% pure Royal Mint gold with global liquidity and a premium that doesn't stray far from spot on BU coins. The collector gets a historically rich, limited-mintage series with documented secondary market precedent from its predecessor."

Stack the BU. Own at least one Proof of the early releases. Do it before this series gets the attention Queen's Beasts eventually received — because it will.
