The Royal Arms of England was inconsistent in design prior to the 12th century. Previous designs included one or two lions in most designs, but it was the rule of King Richard I during the Plantagenet Dynasty that brought about the famed Three Lions design. This imagery now appears on a beautiful new silver and gold bullion program for Gibraltar from Scottsdale Mint.

On the reverse of 2018 1 oz British Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Reverse Proof Silver Coins is the Royal Arms of England introduced during the reign of King Richard I, a Plantagenet king. This was the accepted, original Royal Arms of England used by monarchs for 200 years. This design includes vines and Tudor roses in the background as a nod to the Wars of Roses for control of the crown between the House of York, a Plantagenet cadet house, and the House of Tudor.
King Henry VII eventually defeated King Richard III in battle in 1485 to end the Wars of the Roses, giving rise to the House of Tudor ruling England and bringing an end to more than 300 years of Plantagenet rule.
The obverse of 2018 British Royal Arms of England Gibraltar Reverse Proof Coins includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Wearing the Royal Diadem ceremonial crown on her head, Elizabeth II is featured in a third-generation design from British coinage that was used from 1984 to 1997.
