Scottsdale Mint in partnership with Gibraltar is pleased to announce the release of a new anticipated annual program - The Royal Arms of England.  The obverse of the coin features the Plantagenet King Richard the Lionheart's Royal Arms of England design - three lions passant guardant.  Additional design details incorporated by Scottsdale Mint includes a vine surrounding King Richard the Lionheart's original design as well as the inclusion of multiple Tudor Roses.  The reverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf.

In the late 12th century, the Plantagenet King Richard I of England, affectionately known as King Richard the Lionheart, displayed the first-ever Royal Arms of England. The escutcheon (or shield) originally bore 1-2 lions, but a third lion was eventually added by King Richard I - Three lions passant guardant. King Richard the Lionheart's Royal Arms of England three lions design would come to serve as the symbol of the King of England and the personal coat of arms of nearly every Plantagenet King for the next 200 years, approximately.  King Richard's three lions remained until 1369 when the Plantagenet King Edward III altered the Royal Arms design to include the fleur-de-lis, reputedly in an effort to strengthen his claim to the French crown. Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the coin itself, the incorporation of the Tudor Rose into the design signifies the passing of the Plantagenet Dynasty and the birth of the Tudor Dynasty. In the War of the Roses Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) was victorious over King Richard III, the final Plantagenet King.
