A Contemporary Design to Celebrate Historic Royal Times
The mysterious art of heraldry has its roots in the medieval battlefields, when men faced each other in epic clashes. In its simplest form, colours and symbols were used on shields and flags so that large groups of enemies could tell each other apart. But these symbols have evolved through the ages, inspiring us to this day. The Queen’s Beasts have been revisited for a collection that celebrates remarkable royal times and brings the art of heraldry to life with contemporary designs.
Only 400 Red Dragon of Wales coins have been struck in one ounce of 999.9 fine gold. Each coin is finished to Proof standard and comes in a Royal Mint case with a booklet on the designer’s inspiration and the story of the Red Dragon in heraldry.
