I may be slightly bias, but the dragon of Wales is probably my favourite design so far..... Who doesn't love a bad-ass dragon??!!??

This 2oz, 999fs coins is the 3rd in a series of 10 coins released by the Royal Mint. The Red Dragon of Wales is widely associated with strength, wisdom and power. The mythical beast was mentioned in chronicles as early as the sixth century. It is sometimes known as the red dragon of Cadwallader, the legendary king of Gwynedd. Gwynedd is a county in Wales, located to the North. Its the county where Snowdonia, the highest mountain in Wales is found.

Awesome Welsh dragon for another awesome Welsh mythical beast!!!
😜🍆

Is the shield that the dragon is holding the Wales shield? What animal is in it?

I figured that was going to be one that you were partial to. A fire-breathing dragon is a fine animal to represent you! And now you have the coin to show everyone.

That is an awesome looking design @welshstacker! The detail on the back is top notch and hard to beat.

The best coin I hold.

Certainly a cool piece🤙
