The Red Dragon of Wales is the third design release in the Queen’s Beast collection of silver and gold coins. The red dragon was a badge originally used by Owen Tudor, and is based upon the story of the dragon on Llewelyn the Last’s castle grounds. Henry VII took on the symbol in a nod to his supposed descent from the Cadwaladr.

All new from the Royal Mint, the Queen’s Beast collection features a total of 10 designs, with releases scheduled to run through 2021. For 2017-2020, there will be two designs released each year, with one apiece from 2016 and in 2021. These new 2017 1 oz British Gold Queen’s Beast Dragon Coins represent the third release, and second of 2017 in the collection.

On the reverse of the 2017 1 oz British Queen’s Beast Dragon Gold Coin is the image of the Red Dragon of Wales. The dragon is often depicted holding a shield bearing a lion in each quarter of it, which was the coat of arms for Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last true and native Prince of Wales.

Arrives in a protective plastic flip, tubes of 10, or Monster Boxes of 100 coins.
