The new Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Coin Series celebrates the first official Royal Arms of England. Prior to the reign of the Plantagenet King Richard I, the royal arms featured changing designs of either one or two lions. Richard the Lionheart adopted a shield with three lions in passant guardant stance.

Richard Is Three Lions design became synonymous with the King of England and was used by Plantagenet monarchs for more than 200 years following his death. The design of the Royal Arms of England in this exciting series focuses on Richard Is original creation, but the background incorporates vines and Tudor roses.

Richard III was the last Plantagenet King of England and Henry VII became the first monarch in the House of Tudor.
