Welcome the sixth magnificent beast in The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection! This exquisite 1/4oz proof gold coin, meticulously crafted by The Royal Mint, showcases the powerful Tudor Dragon.
Standing guard on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, the ten Royal Tudor Beasts were commissioned by Henry VIII to symbolise the strength and influence of his dynasty. Designed by David Lawrence in collaboration with experts from Historic Royal Palaces, the coin’s reverse showcases a striking image of the Tudor Dragon, part of the Royal Tudor Beasts series, intricately rendered in high relief to capture every scale and contour. With the text "TUDOR DRAGON" arching over its head, the dragon, adopted to celebrate the Tudor family's Welsh heritage, proudly holds a shield emblazoned with the Beaufort Portcullis badge. Below, "2024" signifies the year of issue. The Tudor Dragon's design conveys power and majesty, while the coin itself is struck from 99.99% pure gold with a proof finish, reflecting its quality and collectability. The coin’s obverse depicts Martin Jennings’s effigy of King Charles III, around the edge, and inscriptions include "CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D”, face value, and year of issue.
This stunning proof gold coin is accompanied by a booklet delving into the fascinating heraldry of Henry VIII. It is a cherished addition to any coin collection, a unique historical treasure, and a captivating conversation starter. Complete your Royal Tudor Beasts Collection today.
