2022 2kg Royal Tudor Beasts Seymour Panther Gold Proof Coin

Description

The 2022 2kg Gold Proof version of the Royal Tudor Beasts Seymour Panther is completely unique in that it was the only one of its kind to ever be minted, making this an exceptionally special coin.

The Royal Tudor Beasts collection by the Royal Mint honours the heraldic symbols of the Tudor dynasty. Ten Royal Beasts were sculpted in stone to pay homage to the union and lineage of King Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour. They reside along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, and have inspired the Royal Tudor Beast series.

Struck in 999.9 fine gold, the reverse features the ferocious Seymour Panther, depicted by illustrator David Lawrence. The obverse of the coin displays the crowned portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, by designer Jody Clark.

The Seymour Panther was given to Jane Seymour, Henry VIII’s third wife, by the king from the treasury of royal beasts. Like his father before him, Henry VIII adopted the panther as a symbol to reinforce his regal lineage. The statue appears on the viewer’s left-hand side (dexter) and the coat of arms depict the Duke of Beaufort’s arms, whose family Henry VIII’s grandmother descended from. Possessing the tail of a lion and the claws of an eagle, the heraldic beast is often portrayed as angry and incensed, with fire coming from its mouth and ears.

While there was set to be a limited coin mintage of five, only one was struck during Queen Elizabeth’s reign; following her passing no more coins with her effigy were struck, making this coin one of a kind.
