The dragon has been a symbol of power and sovereignty in British heraldry for centuries, but for the Tudors it held a deeply personal significance. Tracing their Welsh ancestry back through Owen Tudor to Cadwalader, the legendary seventh-century king of Gwynedd, the Tudor dynasty embraced the dragon as an emblem of their ancient royal bloodline. At Hampton Court Palace, a magnificent stone dragon still stands guard on the Moat Bridge — crimson-winged and golden-bellied, clutching a shield bearing the Beaufort portcullis.
This official UK £5 coin captures the Royal Dragon in stunning detail as part of The Royal Tudor Beasts collection. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard, this 38.61mm cupro-nickel coin weighs 28.28g and has never entered circulation, retaining its original finish.
Don't let this one slip through your claws — add The Royal Dragon to your Royal Tudor Beasts collection before stocks are gone.
