Description
The Royal Dragon is the ninth release in The Royal Tudor Beasts collection, inspired by the ten stone statues that stand guard along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, dynastic protectors commissioned by Henry VIII for the arrival of his third wife, Jane Seymour.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse offers a bespoke, contemporary interpretation of the legendary Celtic beast an enduring symbol of power, courage and national identity, set against a background that evokes the grandeur of the Tudor period. The design incorporates subtle surface animation, adding both visual appeal and an extra layer of security. The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
Struck in quarter oz of 999.9 fine gold to Bullion standard and individually presented in a single-coin capsule. As UK legal tender, the coin is exempt from Capital Gains Tax, an attractive proposition for investors and collectors alike.
