The Royal Dragon is a powerful symbol of Welsh identity and Tudor heritage. Adopted by Henry VII after his victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the dragon represents the Tudor dynasty’s Welsh roots and its claim to the English throne. The Tudor Beasts coin series takes inspiration from the ten heraldic stone beasts that guard the gate to Hampton Court Palace. These majestic beasts were commissioned to commemorate the historic union of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour.
