Who designed the Greyhound of Richmond £5?
David Lawrence, the illustrator and sculptor whose work features on all ten coins in the Royal Mint's Royal Tudor Beasts Collection. The coin was made with Historic Royal Palaces. The portrait of King Charles III on the obverse is by Martin Jennings.
How many Greyhound of Richmond £5 coins were made?
The Royal Mint has published no struck or sold figure for the 2025 Brilliant Uncirculated coin and its product page states no issue limit. Its commemorative coin sales pages currently stop at coins dated 2023.

History and design
The Greyhound of Richmond £5 is the eighth commemorative coin in the Royal Mint's Royal Tudor Beasts Collection, made with Historic Royal Palaces. The series takes its subjects from the ten stone beasts on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, which represent the lineage of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour.
The Royal Mint traces the greyhound to Edward III and the House of Lancaster. Henry VIII's grandfather Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, adopted it, and the white hound became known as the White Greyhound of Richmond. For Henry VIII it stood for both Lancaster and Tudor, reinforcing his claim to the throne through both houses.
The coin is dated 2025 and was sold to collectors in a fold-out wallet on the history and heraldry of Henry VIII. It was not issued for circulation.
David Lawrence, whose work features on all ten coins in the collection, created a modern interpretation of the statue. The Moat Bridge greyhound stands upright and alert with pricked ears and a crown collar, and it differs from the other beasts in holding a shield of the kind used in jousting, one of Henry VIII's favourite sports.
The royal proclamation describes the reverse as a depiction of the Greyhound of Richmond with the inscription GREYHOUND OF RICHMOND and the date. The obverse has Martin Jennings's portrait of King Charles III with CHARLES III D G REX F D 5 POUNDS and the date. The edge is milled.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
Keep it apart from two other greyhound coins. The Royal Mint lists a 2021 £5 for the White Greyhound of Richmond by Harry Brockway, which has Jody Clark's portrait of Elizabeth II on the obverse. There is also a 2025 Greyhound of Richmond bullion coin in 2oz of fine silver with a £5 face value, which has a chain-textured background and a weight and fineness inscription, so it is a different design.
The cupro-nickel coin has no published mintage or issue limit. Check the greyhound's ribs and the shield for contact marks if the coin has left its wallet. Silver and gold proofs in several weights share Lawrence's design. Like every modern crown it is legal tender, but the Royal Mint says the £5 coin does not circulate.
