Following the success of the Queen’s Beasts Series, the Royal Mint launched a new collection in 2021 called the Tudor Beasts Series. Unlike the broad focus of the Queen’s Beasts, this series hones in on the heraldic beasts associated with the House of Tudor. It’s a more specific collection that’s likely to appeal to bullion investors, collectors, and fans of British history. In 2024, the collection kicks off with its fifth overall design in the form of the Seymour Unicorn, with the sixth design, the Tudor Dragon following.
As the fourth BU Tudor Beasts coin and the fifth overall design to feature in the series, the Seymour Unicorn continues the specific design focus on the marriage between King Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour. The heraldic unicorn is shown on the reverse as it stands on its hind legs in support of a six-quadrant shield that bears the coat of arms of Jane Seymour.
The 6th overall design in the series is the Tudor Dragon which showcases the Tudor Dynasty’s ties to their Welsh heritage. The design shows the Tudor Dragon clutching a shield adorned with a Beaufort Portcullis badge.
The Royal Mint maintains the same coin options in the Tudor Beasts Series that it introduced in the Queen’s Beasts Series. When it comes to the BU Seymour Unicorn and Tudor Dragon issues, this means 2 oz silver and 10 oz silver coins in this 2024 design. However, the BU versions of the coin are not the only ones available to buyers.
For numismatists, the Royal Mint offers the 2024 Seymour Unicorn and the 2024 Tudor Dragon in proof options with beautiful, frosted designs and lettering above a mirrored field. The traditional weights offered in the proof range include 1 Kilo, 10 oz, 5 oz, and 1 oz silver. There is also a Reverse Frosted set of two 1 oz silver coins available for these designs.
