History and design
This is a collector version of the 5 Pounds - Charles III Tudor Dragon. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The Tudor Dragon £5 was announced by the Royal Mint on 19 February 2024 as the latest coin in its ten-coin Royal Tudor Beasts collection, made with Historic Royal Palaces. In the order of the Mint's £5 design list it is the sixth beast, following the Seymour Unicorn.
The collection honours the stone creatures Henry VIII commissioned for the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace to display the power of the House of Tudor. The Mint explains that the Tudors adopted the dragon to stress their royal Welsh heritage, which they traced back to the seventh century, and that the red dragon was a prominent emblem of Owen Tudor, Henry VIII's great-grandfather. On the bridge it stands as a guardian of the palace gates.
This is a collector coin. The Mint describes £5 crowns as souvenirs, and no struck or sold figure has been published for it.
The reverse is by David Lawrence, whose designs for the series blend naturalistic detail with stylised heraldry. Working from the stone sculpture at Hampton Court, he shows the dragon holding a shield emblazoned with the Beaufort Portcullis, which the Mint presents as a symbol of valour and bravery. The proclamation gives the inscription · TUDOR DRAGON · and the date.
The obverse carries Martin Jennings's portrait of King Charles III with CHARLES III D G REX F D 5 POUNDS and the date. The edge is milled.
