Afternoon everyone …
The Queen’s Beast series is still one of my favorite series ever produced. They came out with the Tudor Beast series a couple of years ago. Which I like but not as much as the original Queen’s Beasts. They are different but very nice.
This is the just released Tudor Dragon coin from The Royal Mint.
The silver version….
This is the two ounce version. They also have a ten ounce version.
This is the gold version….
This is the quarter ounce version, they also make a one ounce gold.

Design Highlights: 2024 Royal Tudor Beasts Dragon 2 oz .9999 Silver Coin (BU)
David Lawrence skillfully portrays the Tudor Dragon on the reverse of this coin. The dragon, rooted in the Red Dragon of Wales, is a symbol deeply associated with the Tudor Dynasty, embodying its legitimacy and connections to the diverse regions of the British Isles. The dragon supports a shield adorned with the Beaufort Portcullis badge, against a background that resembles chain mail. This design includes surface animation, enhancing the coin’s security features.
The obverse of the coin features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings. This left-profile relief of the King, uncrowned, is a significant element in the coin's design, reflecting the contemporary monarchy.
