Gold Ten Ounces 2022 The Seymour Panther, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information
| ||||||||||||
Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues collector coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The ten ounces (10 oz) gold coins are denominated as five hundred pounds (£500). This very large format is targeted at high-end investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. This coin type is the first out of ten designs from the Royal Tudor Beasts Collection - coins depicting heraldic animals representing the Medieval Tudor dynasty which ruled England between 1485 and 1603. Originally representing Anne Boleyn, and Katherine of Aragon before her, the Seymour Panther was given to Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII, by the king from the royal treasury of beasts. Although the stone beast is depicted as a ferocious animal, with flames coming from its mouth and ears, the Seymour Panther symbolised a peaceful and loving union between the king and his consort who bore him the male heir he so desperately yearned for. | ||||||||||||
