2026 Royal Mint Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon 1/4oz Gold Coin

The 2026 Royal Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon 1/4oz Gold Coin continues the celebrated bullion series from The Royal Mint, showcasing the legendary heraldic creatures that symbolised the power and ambition of the Tudor dynasty.

Combining rich British history with investment-grade precious metal, this beautifully crafted quarter-ounce gold coin offers a more accessible way to own a piece of one of the most popular modern bullion collections.

The Tudor Dragon returns

The Royal Dragon has been associated with Wales for centuries and became a defining symbol of the Tudor dynasty after Henry VII adopted it following his victory at Bosworth Field. Representing the Tudors’ Welsh ancestry and royal legitimacy, the dragon later appeared among the famous stone beasts guarding the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace.

Now reimagined for 2026, this historic emblem once again takes centre stage in stunning fine gold.

Detailed artistry and modern security

The reverse design, created by acclaimed artist David Lawrence, captures the Royal Dragon in intricate detail. Fierce, elegant and unmistakably regal, the creature stands proudly holding a shield bearing Tudor symbolism linked to the royal bloodline.

To complement the design, the coin incorporates advanced surface animation technology, creating a visually dynamic finish while adding an important anti-counterfeiting security feature.

Struck in 999.9 fine gold

Crafted from 1/4oz of 999.9 fine gold, this coin is struck to The Royal Mint’s trusted Bullion standard, ensuring exceptional quality and purity.

The obverse features the official coinage portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, linking this contemporary release with Britain’s current royal era.

Developed in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the collection draws direct inspiration from one of the country’s most iconic royal residences.
