The Royal Mint’s celebrated Royal Tudor Beasts Bullion Collection reaches an important milestone with the release of the 2026 Royal Tudor Beasts Seymour Panther Coin.

As the tenth release in the collection, the Seymour Panther is the final royal guardian to feature individually on a bullion coin, bringing this chapter of the Royal Tudor Beasts series to a close.

The panther has a particularly strong connection to the Tudor story. Gifted to Jane Seymour by Henry VIII from the royal treasury of heraldic beasts, it became an emblem associated with the Seymour family and Jane’s position as queen.

Featuring a detailed interpretation by artist and sculptor David Lawrence, the 2026 Royal Tudor Beasts Seymour Panther Coin combines historic British symbolism with modern bullion craftsmanship and advanced security features.

As part of the wider Royal Tudor Beasts collection, this final individual release is likely to be of particular interest to investors and collectors who have followed the series from the beginning.

History of the Tudor Beasts Coins

The Tudor Beasts series celebrates the heraldic creatures associated with the Tudor dynasty, one of the most influential royal houses in British history.

The collection takes inspiration from the ten stone beasts positioned at the entrance to Hampton Court Palace, representing the ancestry and legitimacy of the Tudor bloodline.

Each beast within the series carries symbolic meaning connected to monarchy, heritage, power, and national identity.

The Royal Dragon is especially significant due to its connection to Wales and the Tudor family’s Welsh ancestry. Following his victory at Bosworth Field in 1485, Henry VII adopted the red dragon as a symbol of unity and royal authority.

Over time, the Welsh dragon became one of Britain’s most recognisable national emblems and officially became the national flag of Wales in 1959.

Today, the Tudor Beasts bullion collection reimagines these historic heraldic creatures through modern coin design, combining British history with investment-grade precious metals for contemporary investors and collectors alike.

Each coin in the collection features a different creature, representing the power and majesty of the ruling house. Here are the previous coins:
