About the Tudor Dragon
The Tudor Dragon is one of the most powerful heraldic symbols of the Tudor dynasty. The red dragon became closely associated with Henry VII following his victory at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 and has remained an enduring symbol of Welsh heritage, strength and royal authority.
Standing among the famous heraldic beasts that line the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, the Tudor Dragon celebrates the origins of the Tudor dynasty. Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the dragon holding a shield adorned with royal heraldry, set against The Royal Mint’s advanced chain-mail surface animation security background. The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
