Great Britain Royal Tudor Beasts 2025 £5 Tudor Greyhound Cupro-Nickel Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

Great Britain Royal Tudor Beasts 2025 £5 Tudor Greyhound Cupro-Nickel Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

An outstanding addition to a world-renowned series, the 2025 £5 Tudor Greyhound Cupro-Nickel Brilliant Uncirculated Coin is a key element of the Tudor Beasts Coin Collection.

The Tudor Beasts

Built in the early 16th century, Hampton Court Palace was given to King Henry VIII by Cardinal Wolsey, who hoped the gift might save him from the executioner’s blade. After marrying Jane Seymour in 1536, Henry adorned the entrance to the palace with statues of heraldic beasts in honour of his new Queen. Including the White Lion of Mortimer, the Black Bull of Clarence and the Seymour Unicorn, the Tudor Beasts statues represent an inspired concept for a coin series.

The Greyhound of Richmond

Found in Britain during Roman times, greyhounds were bred to chase game, being included in royal hunting packs from the 12th century. In heraldry, the greyhound is associated with fitness, skill and loyalty. The greyhound was elevated to royal status by King Edward III, and all of his descendants used the greyhound as a badge. It became closely associated with the House of Lancaster before passing to the Tudor family. The first Tudor monarch, Henry VII, who defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field to claim the crown in 1485, displayed it to emphasise his dynastic right to rule.

Beautifully designed, precisely struck

A unique tribute to this proud heraldic beast, the 2025 Tudor Greyhound Cupro-Nickel £5 coin is struck to the Royal Mint’s rigorous Brilliant Uncirculated standard. Created by David Lawrence, the reverse design captures the heraldic power of the White Greyhound of Richmond perfectly. An official British legal tender issue, the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings adorns the obverse.
