Limited edition Welsh Red Dragon one ounce gold proof Queen's Beasts coin graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo. Unleashed in 2018, this limited edition one ounce gold proof coin is a tribute to the Red Dragon of Wales. Its the third proof coin released in The Royal Mint’s sought-after Queen's Beasts series, following the Lion of England and the Unicorn of Scotland. The Queen's Beasts was inspired by a series of statues displayed at Her Majesty the Queen's 1953 Coronation. They took the form of the real and mythological creatures that appear on either side of the Coats of Arms of British royal and noble houses. The Y Ddraig Goch (red dragon) has been associated with Wales since the sixth-century. The snarling serpent that stars on this coin curls its tail around the coat of arms of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales before the nation's conquest by English King Edward I. Later, during the reign of the Tudor monarchs, this Queen's Beast was used as a supporter in the English Crown's coat of arms. Like all the coins in this series the Red Dragon of Wales design is the work of Jody Clark. He’s also responsible for the portrait of Elizabeth II that appears on the obverse. This .9999 gold edition weighs 31.21 grams and has a face value of £100. It's from a limited edition presentation of just 497 pieces and has been graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo by the Numismatic Guaranty Company. Supplied in NGC holder with a brown label.
