Description
The Seymour Panther is the tenth and final release in The Royal Tudor Beasts collection, inspired by the ten stone statues that stand guard along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, dynastic protectors commissioned by Henry VIII for the arrival of his third wife, Jane Seymour. The panther itself was a royal gift, a heraldic beast granted to Jane Seymour by Henry VIII from the treasury of royal beasts.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse presents a bespoke, contemporary interpretation of the Seymour Panther grasping a shield adorned with the Seymour wings, set against a background that evokes the grandeur of the Tudor period. The design incorporates subtle surface animation, adding both visual appeal and an extra layer of security. The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
Struck in 1oz of 999.9 fine gold to Bullion standard and individually presented in a single-coin capsule. As UK legal tender, the coin is exempt from Capital Gains Tax, an attractive proposition for investors and collectors alike. As the concluding coin in the series, the Seymour Panther completes the collection for those who have followed the Royal Tudor Beasts from the first release.
Why buy 1 oz gold coins?
One ounce gold coins are popular in the gold bullion market. They are a great way to split your precious metal holdings in smaller fractions. In fact, a large gold bar is not always the best option. Even if you will pay less per gram with gold bars, a large gold bar will restrict the fungibility of your investment. Buying 1 ounce gold bullion coins make your investment more divisible and liquid. In fact, you can trade few gold coins when you need cash, instead of selling a whole bar at once. On the other hand, a large gold bar will be more difficult to convert into cash. Therefore, it is worth paying a slightly higher premium above the gold spot price.
