1oz Gold Coin — Graded MS68+

The 2017 Red Dragon of Wales is the third release in The Royal Mint’s acclaimed Queen’s Beasts series — a ten-coin sovereign bullion collection celebrating the heraldic symbols of the British monarchy.

The Red Dragon is one of the most enduring emblems in British history. Famously adopted by Henry VII to assert his Welsh lineage and claim to the English throne, it represents strength, legitimacy and dynastic authority. The reverse design depicts the dragon poised with shield in defence, bearing the historic arms of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales.

Struck in one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, this example has been independently graded MS68+, confirming exceptional mint-state quality with strong visual appeal and precise strike detail.

As part of a completed sovereign-backed series with defined mintage, high-grade examples continue to attract both investor and collector interest.
