Gold Tudor Beasts Yale of Beaufort Coin Design
The Yale of Beaufort was said to add credibility to King Henry’s claim to the throne and symbolises a proud defence. The mythical creature, the Yale, was used by Henry VIII to emphasise his family connection to the Beaufort’s, who were a powerful royal family from the House of Lancaster.
The reverse of the coin depicts the Yale holding a shield which features part of Jane Seymour’s coat of arms. The coat of arms consists of three lions in the centre with three fleur-de-lis on each side and was awarded to Jane Seymour’s father, Edward Seymour, when King Henry married Jane. The bold design features a chainmail surface animation background texture which provides an additional security feature.
Tudor Beasts Coin Collection Background
The Royal Mint are honouring the heraldic symbols of one of the nation’s most powerful dynasties, the Tudor King Henry VIII, with the new Royal Tudor Beasts Collection. The collection is represented by ten stone beasts, both mythical and real, that line the Moat Bridge at Henry VIII’s most famous residence, Hampton Court. The beasts represent the lineage of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, his third wife.
As well as being highly competitively priced, Tudor Beasts coins are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax free. By purchasing UK coins eligible for CGT exemption, you can avoid paying tax over the profit you make, the amount of this CGT free profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax free profit on your other investments either.
History of The Tudor Beasts
During the reign of Henry VIII, majestic beasts stood guard over the moat of Hampton Court Palace, representing the King and the powerful Tudor dynasty. They were chosen to symbolise strength, leadership and courage.
All ten coins of the Royal Tudor Beasts collection have been designed by David Lawrence who is an illustrator and sculptor with more than 30 years experience which includes coin design.
The second in the series, The Gold Tudor Beast Yale of Beaufort, is also available in 1oz gold, 2oz silver and 10oz silver.
