Just like the Ten beasts that lined the entry to Westminster, there are another ten heraldic beasts that flank the Moat Bridge of Hampton Court Palace! Linking back to King Henry VIII, each beast signifies the king's regal lineage whilst also celebrating his marriage to Jane Seymour.
The eighth beast to join the series is the Greyhound of Richmond. Standing upright with a slim build and protruding ribcage, the greyhound on the Moat Bridge is striking. Emphasising its alertness, the head is turned at an angle with its ears pricked. The beast holds a shield shaped like those used for jousting, bearing the three lions of England passant guardant, fully facing the viewer.
Excellent value for money, each King's Beasts BU coin is presented in typical high quality and informative Royal Mint packaging.
