2026 GB Royal Tudor Beasts The Royal Dragon BU (w/ Display Card)

0.0000 troy oz .999 2026 Brilliant Unc

The 2026 five-pound cupro-nickel coin from the United Kingdom represents a significant milestone in modern numismatics. Produced by the Royal Mint and backed by the British government, this sovereign issue marks the tenth and final entry in the celebrated Royal Tudor Beasts series, which first commenced in 2022 following the conclusion of the Queen's Beasts collection. This decade-spanning series explores the rich heraldic legacy of the Tudor dynasty through ten distinct creatures, including the Seymour Panther, the Lion of England, the Bull of Clarence, the Tudor Dragon, the Greyhound of Richmond, the Royal Dragon, the Yale of Beaufort, the Seymour Unicorn, the Queen's Panther, and the Queen's Lion. On the reverse of this brilliant uncirculated coin, artist David Lawrence provides a striking interpretation of the Royal Dragon. Historically, this beast was commissioned to honor the marriage of King Henry VIII to Jane Seymour, serving as a powerful symbol of the monarch's Welsh ancestry. The obverse is dedicated to the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside the official face value of five pounds. Struck in cupro-nickel with a weight of 0.23 ounces, this coin serves as a captivating connection to royal history and heraldic art.
