Product Description
Along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, ten stone beasts represent the royal ancestry of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour. They inspired The Royal Mint's Royal Tudor Beasts collection, and the ninth release features the Royal Dragon.
About the Royal Dragon
The Royal Dragon became a key Tudor symbol after Henry VII defeated the House of York at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. It represents the dynasty's Welsh roots.
It stands on the right-hand side of the Moat Bridge and holds a shield bearing the royal arms of France and England.
Its body looks like a four-legged serpent or lizard, with wings like a bat and a fiery tongue.
The design
David Lawrence's reverse design is inspired by the Royal Dragon statue at Hampton Court Palace. The background reflects the grandeur of the Tudor period and includes surface animation, an extra security feature.
The obverse shows the official coinage portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, with the £10 face value. The Royal Dragon followed the Queen's Lion in 2026, ahead of the final release, the Seymour Panther.

Investing Information
How VAT works on this coin
Silver coins aren't exempt from VAT in the UK. Because this one is pre-owned, it's sold under the VAT margin scheme, so VAT only applies to our margin. That tends to make pre-owned silver better value than new.
Capital Gains Tax
This coin is UK legal tender, so UK residents pay no Capital Gains Tax on any profit when they sell. That can be useful as a holding grows.
Easy to recognise
As a Royal Mint bullion coin, the Royal Dragon is familiar to UK bullion dealers, which helps when it's time to sell.
Our advice policy
We're glad to explain how VAT and tax apply to this coin, but we can't give personal financial advice. Do your own research first, and get professional guidance if you need it.
