Value per gram: the 1 oz Tudor Beasts Royal Dragon gold coin

Gold is priced per troy ounce, so a one-ounce coin is the easiest to compare with the spot price, and its premium per gram is lower than on fractions. For buyers whose main aim is to hold gold, that makes the ounce the efficient size.

The Royal Dragon

Bought alongside earlier beasts in the same size, the Royal Dragon gives an ounce-for-ounce collection in which every coin is worth the same in gold terms. That makes it easy to value a holding at a glance: multiply the number of coins by the gold price per ounce and add a modest premium.

This is the ninth beast in the series. David Lawrence’s dragon grips a shield bearing royal heraldry, set against a background with surface animation that also works as a security feature. The red dragon was used by the Tudors to stress their Welsh ancestry, going back to Owen Tudor. The obverse shows King Charles III by Martin Jennings.

Investment gold such as this coin is VAT-free in the EU.
