What is the Seymour Panther?

The Seymour Panther is a heraldic mythological beast given to Henry VIII’s third wife, Jane Seymour from the treasury of royal beasts. It was gifted by the king to represent Jane Seymour’s beauty and grace.​

Although it was eventually gifted to Jane Seymour, the beast actually began life as Anne Boleyn's heraldic leopard before being altered into the gifted panther following her beheading.

What are the Royal Tudor Beasts?

The Tudor Beasts (also known as the King's Beasts) are a series of heraldic statues, which flank the moat bridge at Hampton Court Palace. The ten statues represent King Henry VIII's Tudor ancestry and his marriage to his third wife, Jane Seymour. 

What is Bullion?

Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It’s typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin's condition, unlike proof and uncirculated products, that may have a value above the intrinsic price.
