The Tudor Dragon is the latest release in The Royal Mint’s Tudor Beasts Series. This heraldic symbol was significant for the House of Tudor in affirming their lineage, with Henry Tudor securing the throne after the Wars of the Roses in 1485. Now, 2024 British Tudor Beasts The Tudor Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Tubes are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The Tudor Dragon is inspired by the historic Red Dragon of Wales, a symbol deeply rooted in Welsh culture. This emblem has been associated with Wales since the 5th century AD and is featured in the Historia Brittonum, a 9th-century text that recounts the legend of the red dragon (symbolizing the Welsh) battling the white dragon (symbolizing the Saxons).
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 British Tudor Dragon 1/4 oz Gold Coins showcases King Charles III. The left-profile relief, designed by Martin Jennings, is the first effigy of Charles III and captures the king without a crown. Inscriptions include CHARLES III, D.G. REX. F.D., and 25 POUNDS.
Reverse
On the reverse of each 2024 British Tudor Beast The Tudor Dragon Gold Coin, the Red Dragon of Wales is depicted supporting a shield that features the Beaufort Portcullis. This design is another symbol of family heritage used by the Tudors to affirm their right to rule. The inscriptions include TUDOR DRAGON, 1/4 OZ FINE GOLD, 999.9, and 2024.
History
After becoming king, Henry VII officially granted the red dragon royal status by including it in the Royal Badge of Wales, which he created. This badge featured a red dragon passant (walking) on a green and white field.
