1/4 oz Queen's Beasts White Greyhound of Richmond Gold Coin (2021)
The tenth and final release in the sought after Queen’s Beasts series by The Royal Mint.
The UK Royal Mint introduced its majestic Queen's Beasts Collection in 2016 with the Lion of England and it was an immediate hit with the world's numismatists. The Queen's Beasts Series celebrates centuries of Royal heritage through beautifully designed images of the mythic creatures from the Monarchy's heraldry. Artist Jody Clark takes his inspiration from the 10 golden heraldic effigies that stood guard as Princess Elizabeth was crowned Queen at Westminster Abbey in 1953. Descendants of Edward III used the greyhound as a badge and it became closely associated with the House of Lancaster before passing to the Tudor family.

- Contains 1/4 oz of .9999 fine Gold.
- Obverse: Displays the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the face value of 25 pounds.
- Reverse: Designed by Jody Clark, the design features the White Greyhound of Richmond.
- Sovereign coin backed by the British government.
