The Tudor Beasts

Built in the early 16^th 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 Royal Dragon

Standing proudly on the Moat Bridge, poised to safeguard the palace, the Royal Dragon was among the most impressive of the Tudor Beasts. A symbol of strength and courage, the Dragon represents Henry’s Welsh ancestry. The dragon was originally adopted as an emblem by Henry’s great-grandfather, Owen Tudor, establishing a lineage back to 7^th century Welsh royalty. The founder of the Tudor Dynasty, King Henry VII employed a red dragon as his emblem after victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
