UK Royal Mint, Perth Mint augment platinum bullion coin collections
Last month saw the arrival of the latest addition to the UK Royal Mint’s ten-coin Royal Tudor Beasts Collection, the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) reports.
The Royal Tudor Beasts 2024 Tudor Dragon 1 oz platinum bullion coin is the fifth release in the series.
The collection is based on the ten stone sculptures along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, which represent the royal ancestry and union of the Tudor monarch Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour.
The latest coin in the collection portrays the Tudor Dragon, which was adopted by the House of Tudor to highlight its royal Welsh heritage, dating back to the seventh century.
The Red Dragon was an emblem of Owen Tudor, Henry VIII’s great-grandfather.
The 1 oz platinum bullion Tudor Dragon coin is struck in .9995 fine platinum to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard, with a face value of £100.
The coin’s reverse has a chain mail surface animation background texture providing additional security.
Its obverse features the official coinage portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
AUSTRALIAN COINS
Meanwhile, the Perth Mint earlier this year also celebrated a milestone anniversary by unveiling a collection of limited mintage, legal tender commemorative precious metal coins.
The set included the 125th anniversary 2024 1 oz platinum bullion coin.
As Australia’s oldest operating mint, the Perth Mint dates back to 1899 when it opened as a branch of the UK Royal Mint at the height of Western Australia’s gold rush.
It is now owned by the state of Western Australia.
With a mintage of 5 000 and a face value of A$100, the 125th Anniversary 2024 1 oz platinum bullion coin is struck in .9995 pure platinum.
Its reverse features three of Australia’s most iconic native species, the kangaroo, koala and kookaburra.
The coin’s obverse carries an effigy of Charles III and the anniversary ‘P125’ mintmark.
