2024 GB Royal Tudor Beasts Tudor Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Prf (Box/COA)

The Royal Tudor Beasts series, first introduced by the Royal Mint in 2022, explores the rich heraldic history of the Tudor dynasty through its legendary stone guardians. The fifth release in this celebrated collection highlights the Tudor Dragon, a powerful beast representing the Welsh lineage of the Tudor family. This specific design is based directly on the historic stone sculpture that stands watch on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. Crafted from one quarter ounce of extremely pure 0.9999 fine gold, this proof quality coin carries a face value of 100 pounds and is fully backed by the British government. The reverse side, created by illustrator David Lawrence, showcases the dramatic form of the dragon. On the obverse, the coin features the official portrait of King Charles III, accompanied by inscriptions indicating his name and the 2024 year of issue. With a strictly limited mintage of just 500 pieces, this coin is a remarkable example of modern British numismatic art.
