Latest Tudor Beast: Queen's Panther

[BingBong]

I've been picking up the Tudor Beasts coin series in platinum from the Royal Mint, they release two a year on average. There should be 10 in all, plus a "completer" coin; the sixth has just been released and I jumped on it immediately - production of the fourth and fifth in platinum was quite limited, so FOMO operates here, just in case. Pretty, anyway, if a somewhat uncertain investment.

Looking at that panther I was sure I'd seen its likeness somewhere before...

Used to collect US Mint silver proofs. After few state quarters, got bored out of it.

What is that? Looks like someone dropped a 'foot long' on your bed spread.

Heh, I only bought the first one as "something different". Then the second because I have two principle inheritors. After the third, I realised that I was in it to the end...

I thought Tudor was a royal family name in the time of knights. Are "Tudor Beasts" royal animals?

I realize I may be making quite a mess-up regarding history. I'm not trying to be a smart a**.

I was going to make a joke about Prince Andrew, but I suppose that'd be a Windsor beast

They're associated with the family of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII, and are represented in statuary at Hampton Court Palace.

I was trying to get a wry smile emoji but I messed up.
