The Tudor Beasts series from The Royal Mint has established itself as one of the mint’s most significant bullion collections in recent years. Inspired by the heraldic beasts guarding Hampton Court Palace, the program transforms these historic royal figures into beautifully detailed gold and silver coin releases spanning multiple years. Collectors have responded strongly to the series for its artistic craftsmanship, historical storytelling, and connection to the world’s oldest continuously operating mint. Today, 2026 1 oz British Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon Coins are available from JM Bullion.

Coin Highlights:

• Comes with plastic flips, protective tubes of 10 coins, or Monster Boxes of 100 coins!
• 9th design in the BU Tudor Beasts Series!
• Contains 1 troy oz of .9999 pure gold in BU condition.
• The face value of 100 Pound sterling (GBP) is backed by the British government.
• Obverse depicts King Charles III.

While the Royal Dragon was most prominently associated with the Tudor Dynasty, its use in British royal heraldry has continued well beyond the Tudor period, appearing in the royal arms, on ceremonial standards, and in the rich visual tradition of British state occasions across the centuries that followed. For example, the red dragon remains a central element of the Welsh national flag to this day.

All 2026 1 oz British Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon Coins available here are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins arrive in plastic flips. Multiples of 10 coins are offered in protective tubes, while multiples of 100 coins come in a box. Each box holds a total of 10 tubes inside.

Appearing on the obverse of the 2026 British Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon Coin is Martin Jennings’ portrait of King Charles III. The left-facing depiction presents the king with a composed and traditional appearance, reflecting both dignity and authority. Jennings’ careful approach to portraiture and expression has made him one of Britain’s most respected sculptors, and those qualities are clearly reflected in this official effigy. 

For the reverse design of the 2026 1 oz Gold Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon Coin, the image depicts the Royal Dragon supporting a quartered shield adorned with England’s Three Lions and the fleur de lis of France. These historic symbols combine to form a meaningful heraldic composition connected to centuries of British monarchy. The mythical dragon and royal shield together represent royal power, dynastic heritage, and the long-standing relationship between English and French royal history.
