The new Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Coin Series celebrates the first official Royal Arms of England. Prior to the reign of the Plantagenet King Richard I, the royal arms featured changing designs of either one or two lions. Richard the Lionheart adopted a shield with three lions in passant guardant stance.

Richard I’s Three Lions design became synonymous with the King of England and was used by Plantagenet monarchs for more than 200 years following his death. The design of the Royal Arms of England in this exciting series focuses on Richard I’s original creation, but the background incorporates vines and Tudor roses.

On the reverse of 2018 1 oz British Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Reverse Proof Silver Coins is the image of the Three Lions shield. The background inclusion of Tudor roses is a nod to the transition from the Plantagenet dynasty in England to the House of Tudor. King Henry VII defeated King Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field to end the Wars of the Roses. Richard III was the last Plantagenet King of England and Henry VII became the first monarch in the House of Tudor.

The obverse of 2018 British Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Reverse Proof Coins includes Raphael Maklouf’s third-generation depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. In this right-profile portrait, Her Majesty wears the Royal Diadem crown.

These 2018 1 oz British Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Reverse Proof Coins include protective capsules to house the coins within their black-felt cases. The cases are housed in Royal Arms of England shippers and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. In this colorized issue, Scottsdale Mint applies yellow to the Three Lions in the shield. As reverse proof coins, these specimens have strong, frosted backgrounds and deeply-mirrored, clear designs.
