Prior to the 12^th century, monarchs of England had used lions in the design of personal seals and royal shields. However, it was the reign of the great Plantagenet King Richard I that resulted in the creation and adoption of the kingdom’s first official Royal Arms of England. The Three Lions designs persist today in various forms and was used in its original design for nearly 200 years.

The Scottsdale Mint has created a new series of silver coins for Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, that features King Richard I’s original Royal Arms of England. Included in the background of the design are vines around the shield and various roses. The roses are a nod to the Wars of the Roses between the House of York, a Plantagenet cadet house, and the House of Tudor under King Henry VII. With a victory over King Richard III, the final Plantagenet King of England, the Plantagenet’s rule came to an end and the rise of the House of Tudor was upon the nation.
