Tudor Rose Coins

Discover the historic Tudor Rose coins, celebrating one of the most important symbols in British heraldry and royal coinage history. Issued by The Royal Mint to mark the 500th anniversary of the first gold sovereign (1489–1989), this iconic collection features beautifully struck coins inspired by the Tudor Rose — the emblem that represents the union of the Houses of Lancaster and York.

These highly collectable issues include a range of gold proof sovereigns, double sovereigns, full sovereigns, and half sovereigns, all featuring intricate modern interpretations of the classic Tudor Rose design.

The Story Behind the Tudor Rose Design

The Tudor Rose symbolises unity, strength, and the foundation of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII. The 1989 commemorative series celebrates this powerful historical moment with a modern Royal Mint interpretation, combining traditional heraldic imagery with exceptional engraving detail.

Designed by Bernard Sindall, the reverse features:

• A crowned shield of the Royal Arms
• A double Tudor Rose motif
• The commemorative inscription marking the 1489–1989 anniversary

The obverse features a detailed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in coronation regalia, reinforcing the coin’s royal and historical significance.
