2018 Great Britain 10 oz Silver Queen's Beasts (Red Dragon) Coin NGC MS 69 FDOI

As one of the newest series available on the bullion market, the Queen's Beasts series, exclusively released by the British Royal Mint, is inspired by hundreds of years of royal heraldry. This latest release, the latest release in the ten coin series, celebrates the Red Dragon of Wales. The dragon first became tied to Wales in 829 AD, when it was recorded in Historia Brittonum as being the battle standard for the legendary King Arthur.

The 2018 Great Britain 10 oz Silver Queen's Beasts (Red Dragon) Coin NGC MS 69 FDOI has been authenticated as nearly flawless, having earned the MS 69 grade from the highly respected grading services of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Because it was graded on the first day of release, it has additionally earned the First Day of Issue designation.

The Queen's Beasts series ties the modern day back to the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen in 1953. On this chilly day, the procession of the woman who would later become the world's longest reigning living monarch into Westminster Abbey was flanked by ten six-foot tall statues lining the entrance. These were chosen as a link to her ancestry, as the 10 beasts are the same that have been worn as badges by the line of kings and queens preceding her.
