2022 Seymour Panther Quarter Ounce Gold Proof Royal Tudor Beasts Coin

Collectable gold proof £25 coin from the Royal Tudor Beasts collection, featuring the Seymour Panther. The Royal Mint's Tudor Beasts series is inspired by a group of heraldic statues at Hampton Court Palace, representing the lineage of King Henry VIII and his third Queen, Jane Seymour. The panther - represented in heraldry as a spotted big cat - was a symbol adopted by Jane Seymour upon her marriage. David Lawrence, the artist behind the Tudor Beasts series, depicts this heraldic holding a winged shield, a symbol associated with Jane's family, the Seymours. Lawrence's panther is paired with Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used in Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee year. This highly collectable UK gold coin, the first in a popular series, is struck in 7.80 grams of 22-carat gold with a fine, proof finish. It's one of just 1,000 of its kind issued and is presented in its original packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
