The Royal Tudor Beasts: The Greyhound of Richmond 2 x 1 oz Silver 2025 Proof is the eighth issue in the series The Royal Tudor Beasts. The coin depicts the rich heraldry of the Tudor dynasty, referring to emblems visible across the United Kingdom, as well as sculptures adorning the entrance to Hampton Court Palace. Henry VIII used coats of arms as a powerful tool for visual communication, emphasizing his royal heritage and unquestionable right to the throne.

The White Greyhound of Richmond symbolizes Henry VIII’s connection to his ancestors, including Edward III and the House of Lancaster. This animal became a symbol of royal lineage thanks to Henry VIII's grandfather, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who used the white greyhound as his heraldic supporter.
