A Legendary Beast Reimagined

The Royal Tudor Beasts bullion collection continues with the Royal Dragon, the ninth coin in the series inspired by the stone-sculpted guardians that line the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. A powerful symbol of strength, courage and national identity, the Royal Dragon is brought to life in a striking contemporary design by David Lawrence. The reverse also features a Tudor-inspired background enhanced with surface animation, adding both visual appeal and an additional layer of security.

A Dynastic Guardian

Commissioned by Henry VIII for Hampton Court Palace in honour of his third wife, Jane Seymour, the ten Royal Beasts stood as powerful symbols of Tudor authority, ancestry and legitimacy. The Royal Dragon, with its deep Celtic associations, remains one of the most iconic of these heraldic creatures. David Lawrence’s bespoke design offers a bold modern interpretation of this legendary beast while preserving the grandeur and symbolism of the Tudor period.

Why buy 1 oz gold coins?

• Like all UK legal tender gold coins, 1oz Royal Dragon coins are VAT free in the UK and exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
• One ounce gold coins are popular in the gold bullion market. They are a great way to split your precious metal holdings into smaller fractions, offering flexibility over larger bars.
• While gold bars may offer lower premiums per gram, they reduce the flexibility of your investment.
• Buying 1 ounce gold bullion coins makes your investment more divisible and liquid, allowing you to sell smaller portions when needed.
