Established over a millennium ago, the Royal Mint is one of the most prestigious mints in the world. In 2016, it introduced its newest and extremely beautiful series, the Queen’s Beasts, commemorating the magnificent British heraldic history and royalty. The series showcases new representations of the ten heraldic beasts that stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953: the Lion of England, the Black Bull of Clarence, the Red Dragon of Wales, the Griffin of Edward III, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, the White Lion Mortimer, the Unicorn of Scotland, the Yale of Beaufort, and the White Horse of Hanover.

The first two coins released within the series were the Queen’s Beast Lion and Queen’s Beast Griffin, the latest one being the Queen’s Beast Red Dragon. It represents the mighty red dragon with a 4-lion shield in its claws. The creature was used on the badge of Owen Tudor, being later taken by Henry VII, his grandson. The red dragon is also associated with ancient Celtic leaders (battle standard of King Arthur), and during Tudor’s reign, it was depicted on the English Crown’s coat of arms. The Celtic Dragon is the symbol of sovereignty and power while the Red Dragon of Cadwallader is nowadays the emblem on the national flag of Wales. The coin’s incredibly detailed design and high gold content make it a sought-after addition and an exceptional gift.
