100 Pounds - Charles III Royal Dragon; 1oz Fine Gold

The Royal Dragon series draws on Welsh heraldry embedded in British royal identity since the Tudors, whose dynastic claim to the throne rested partly on Welsh lineage — Henry VII adopted the red dragon as a direct political statement of that descent. Charles III, as the longest-serving Prince of Wales in history before his accession, has a particular biographical association with the symbol that his predecessors on the coinage could not claim.

The .9999 fineness is a step above the traditional British gold sovereign standard, positioning this squarely in the modern bullion-and-collector hybrid market that the Royal Mint has aggressively developed since the 2010s.
