Item Description
 
The 2021 White Greyhound Silver Coin stands as the final release in the prestigious Queen’s Beasts Series from The Royal Mint, bringing a historic collection to a powerful conclusion. First launched in 2016, the series introduced a groundbreaking format for modern bullion with its 2 oz silver coins, setting a new benchmark for both design presence and intrinsic silver value.
 
Struck from 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this coin features the White Greyhound of Richmond, a heraldic symbol deeply rooted in the Tudor dynasty. Representing loyalty, nobility, and royal strength, the greyhound was closely associated with Henry VII and played a significant role in Tudor heraldry and royal identity.
 
Each coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and carries a face value of 5 Pounds, backed by the British government. As the 10th and final coin in the series, this release holds elevated importance for collectors seeking a complete Queen’s Beasts set, while also offering strong appeal to investors seeking high purity silver bullion with sovereign backing.
 
Designed by Jody Clark, the artist behind both the Queen’s Beasts Series and the fifth generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, this coin combines historical symbolism, modern minting precision, and investment grade silver in one definitive release.
