The Red Dragon of Wales is a fierce and enduring national symbol, representing strength, leadership, and the proud heritage of the Welsh people. It was famously used by Henry VII, the first Tudor king, to signify his claim to the throne through his Welsh ancestry. The reverse design showcases the dragon standing tall, wings spread wide, with a shield bearing the arms of Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales.

Struck in 1 troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, this coin offers both powerful visual symbolism and investment-grade purity. The obverse features the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, underscoring the coin’s legal tender status and royal legitimacy.
