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 £5 face value. The Royal Dragon followed the Queen's Lion in 2026, ahead of the final release, the Seymour Panther.

Denomination Information

The Royal Tudor Beasts collection

The Royal Mint launched The Royal Tudor Beasts bullion collection in 2022. It's based on the ten stone beasts on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, first made to mark the marriage of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour.

One beast at a time

Each release features a single beast, starting with the Lion of England in 2022 and ending with the Seymour Panther in 2026.

Five bullion sizes

Every beast was issued as a 1oz gold coin, a 1/4oz gold coin, a 2oz silver coin, a 10oz silver coin and a 1oz platinum coin. All are designed by David Lawrence.

Made with Historic Royal Palaces

The Royal Mint created the collection with the experts at Historic Royal Palaces, who look after Hampton Court Palace.
