1 oz 2021 Royal Mint Queen’s Beasts White Greyhound of Richmond Gold Coin – TRB Bullion

Description

With the final release of the highly coveted Queen’s Beasts series, the Royal Mint introduces the White Greyhound of Richmond! This highly collectible series incorporates all the beasts that were commissioned to be displayed at Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation at Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953. The White Greyhound of Richmond was emblematic of King Edmund Tudor, the first Earl of Richmond, the unity of the red rose of Lancaster’s house, and the house’s White Rose of York, following the war of the roses. The Royal Mint upholds its exceptional minting standards for beauty and design with this immaculate, 9999 pure 1 oz gold coin!

Displayed on the reverse side is the White Greyhound of Richmond, indicative of the Honour of Richmond. The regal and elegant canine is seen in a salient attitude, as it supports a shield containing both the livery red and green with the White Rose of the house of York into the Tudor rose, signifying the unity of both houses into one unified entity; the House of Tudor. The combined roses are adorned by the royal crown, with the image laid over an intricately textured pattern within the coins field. The image is encapsulated by the Beast’s title, weight, purity, and year of issue.

The obverse contains her majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s contemporary effigy, over a guilloche patterned coin field, with the Queen’s title and the denominational value as encapsulation.
