On the obverse of the 2026 British Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon is Martin Jennings’ depiction of King Charles III. The left-facing portrait presents the king with a reserved sense of dignity and traditional royal presence. Jennings’ approach emphasizes character and realism, qualities that have established him as one of the leading portrait sculptors currently working in Britain. 

The reverse side of the 2026 1/4 oz Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon Coin showcases the Royal Dragon holding a quartered shield bearing England’s Three Lions alongside the French fleur de lis. Together, these heraldic elements create a design deeply rooted in British royal history. The dragon’s legendary symbolism, combined with the royal emblems of England and France, represents centuries of dynastic rule, political ambition, and the historical connection between the two kingdoms. 

In British heraldic tradition, the Royal Dragon is typically depicted as a fearsome and magnificent creature with a powerful, scaled body, large bat-like wings, four clawed legs, and a long barbed tail, rendered in the bold, stylized language of heraldic art that emphasizes the creature’s symbolic authority over anatomical realism. The Tudor Dragon is most commonly shown in the passant or statant posture, its body in profile with one foreleg raised.
