About the Royal Dragon
The Royal Dragon is one of the most significant heraldic beasts of the Tudor dynasty. Closely associated with Henry VII, the Red Dragon became a symbol of strength, authority and Welsh heritage following the Tudor victory at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Standing among the famous heraldic beasts on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, the Royal Dragon celebrates the Tudor family’s royal lineage. The reverse, designed by David Lawrence, depicts the dragon holding the Beaufort Portcullis shield against The Royal Mint’s intricate chain-mail security background, combining historic symbolism with advanced anti-counterfeiting technology.
The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III, making this one of the key releases in the Tudor Beasts bullion series.
Why Buy a Certified Gold Coin?
Unlike standard bullion coins, certified coins have been independently assessed by professional grading companies before being sealed within a tamper-evident holder.
Certification provides:
- Independent authentication
- Guaranteed condition
- Permanent protective holder
- Easier comparison between examples
- Greater confidence when buying or selling
- Worldwide recognition through PCGS and NGC
- Increased appeal to collectors
Certified coins are particularly popular with buyers seeking premium-quality examples of modern Royal Mint releases.
Understanding the MS68–MS70 Grade Range
Every order includes one certified coin graded within the advertised range of MS68 to MS70.
MS68 – Exceptional Mint State
Outstanding quality with only tiny imperfections visible under magnification.
MS69 – Near Perfect
Virtually flawless with only microscopic imperfections visible under close inspection.
MS70 – Perfect Mint State
