The Queen’s Panther on the Moat Bridge is the last royal beast that visitors encounter before entering the palace. For this coin, collection artist David Lawrence has depicted the panther in its traditional ‘incensed’ form, with flames coming from its mouth and ears to represent its fragrant and allegedly enticing breath. Unlike the Seymour Panther, which holds a shield bearing the Seymour wings, the Queen’s Panther holds the Royal Coat of Arms impaled (or split in two) by that of the Seymour family.

The coin is available as gold Proof and silver Proof editions as well as a Brilliant Uncirculated edition, all accompanied by packaging that explores the heraldic meaning of the Queen’s Panther, the influence of fine art on Tudor heraldry and the creation of the original stone beasts. The one ounce silver Proof edition of the coin features the edge inscription ‘∙HAMPTON COURT PALACE ∙ ROYAL TUDOR BEASTS’ and is also available as part of a two-coin set that features a
coin with a reverse frosted finish.
