In the late 12th century, the Plantagenet King Richard I ofEngland, affectionately known as King Richard the Lionheart, displayed thefirst-ever Royal Arms of England. The escutcheon (or shield) originally bore1-2 lions, but a third lion was eventually added by King Richard I – Threelions passant guardant. King Richard the Lionheart’s Royal Arms of Englandthree lions design would come to serve as the symbol of the King of England andthe personal coat of arms of nearly every Plantagenet King for the next 200years, approximately.
King Richard’s three lions remained until 1369 when the Plantagenet King EdwardIII altered the Royal Arms design to include the fleur-de-lis, reputedly in aneffort to strengthen his claim to the French crown. Beyond the aesthetic appealof the coin itself, the incorporation of the Tudor Rose into the designsignifies the passing of the Plantagenet Dynasty and the birth of the TudorDynasty. In the War of the Roses Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) was victoriousover King Richard III, the final Plantagenet King.
