Owen Tudor is the man responsible for the introduction of the Red Dragon of Wales into the royal arms of England. His son Henry VII would secure his grip on the British crown following victory at the Battle of Bosworth. Owen Tudor claimed Welsh heritage and used the famed red dragon of Cadwallader as his emblem.

On the obverse of all 2018 Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Dragon Coins is a depiction of the Red Dragon. Often depicted on royal arms with a yellow underbelly and red body, the shield associated with the Red Dragon of Wales as used in this design is that of Llewelyn ap Griffith. The last native prince of Wales used a quartered shield with two red leopards on fields of yellow and two yellow leopards on fields of red.

The reverse of the 2018 1 Kilo Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Dragon Coin includes the design of Queen Elizabeth II’s fifth-generation portrait. The ruling monarch of England since 1952, Her Majesty is the longest-reigning monarch in the kingdom’s history and had this portrait of herself designed in 2015 by Jody Clark of the Royal Mint.

2018 10 oz Silver Queens Beasts Red Dragon Proof

The Royal Mint has once again proven its impeccable dedication to producing British coinage that faithfully represents the nation’s rich heritage. Third in the immensely popular ten-coin Queen’s Beasts series, The Red Dragon of Wales was designed for the British Royal Mint by the highly respected engraver, Jody Clark. As with previous releases, the intricate detail captured on the image is truly awesome! This magnificent 2018 10 oz Silver Queens Beasts Red Dragon Proof edition contributes greatly to the centuries of British heritage represented in the 10 original painted-plaster statues of 1953.

Minted in high-relief with highest purity and 10 oz weight, this silver bullion coin series has become a highly treasured favorite among collectors and precious metals investors world-wide. The coin’s obverse displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the 5 pounds face value. Quite interestingly, the Queen’s portrait was also designed by Jody Clark and adopted into British coinage since 2016. Distinguishing this proof edition from the BU, the background is clean without any texture, allowing the full brilliance of the Red Dragon image to take complete prominence.

The reverse features a stylized and beautifully detailed image of the Red Dragon of Wales. Encircling the rim are the inscriptions, “RED DRAGON OF WALES . 10 oz FINE SILVER . 999.9 . 2018.” The designer’s initials are below and to the right of the shield. The winged dragon’s scaled, serpentine body reveals its fierce strength as its size nearly breaks out of the coin’s center field. Its face is indeed a fearsome sight! The dragon’s right claw is extended forward, ready for battle, if required. Its left claw grasps the shield. This is truly a remarkable coin!
