Introduction
Tavex is delighted to present the Royal Tudor Beasts 2026 Royal Dragon 2oz Silver Bullion Coin, an impressive release from The Royal Mint's celebrated Royal Tudor Beasts collection. Celebrating the Royal Dragon — an enduring symbol of power, courage, and national identity — this coin combines exceptional craftsmanship with 99.99% pure silver, making it a perfect choice for both investors and collectors.
Recognised as legal tender in the United Kingdom, the 2oz Royal Dragon Silver Coin carries a face value of £5 and, as a British legal tender coin, is exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. It is the ninth release in a collection inspired by the stone statues that stand guard on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace — royal beasts originally carved to celebrate the union of Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour. The Royal Dragon itself is a legendary Celtic beast long associated with strength and sovereignty.
Each coin's reverse, a contemporary interpretation by artist David Lawrence, is enhanced with surface animation that evokes the grandeur of the Tudor period while adding a further layer of security against counterfeiting. The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.
