2018 Great Britain 5-oz Gold Queen's Beasts Dragon NGC PF70UCAM First Struck
The Next Protector of Queen Elizabeth II is Here! Introducing the Fierce Red Dragon of Wales!
Now, the Royal Mint is introducing the third design in the popular Queen's Beasts proof series -- the Red Dragon of Wales! Following the popular Lion of England and Unicorn of Scotland releases, this newest Queen's Beasts proof coin brilliantly depicts the symbolic Welsh Dragon, hallmark of sovereignty and power for centuries. A figure of Welsh history since the sixth century and a feature of the Royal Coat of Arms since the sixteenth century, the Red Dragon of Wales has been reimagined for the twenty-first century by acclaimed designer Jody Clark. In addition, Clark designed the coin's obverse -- the latest definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used on all coins from the UK since 2015.
A Mythical Creature, a Living Legend, a Treasured Keepsake!
Legal tender 500 pounds sterling, each 2018 Queen's Beasts Red Dragon of Wales Proof is struck in five-ounces of 99.99% pure gold using polished dies and multiple strikes -- all resulting in a coin with sharp details and mirror-like fields. Your proof will arrive to you in its original Royal Mint presentation case along with a numbered mint certificate of authenticity and booklet detailing both the history behind the Red Dragon of Wales and the inspiration for this proof's dynamic design. With the Queen's recent accomplishment of becoming the longest reigning monarch in British history, it's no surprise that gold proofs from this landmark series are seeing high collector demand. This coin is in perfect condition, according to the experts at the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), as illustrated by its Proof 70 grade. NGC also certified the coin as First Struck which means this coin is one of the first struck by the mint.
