Comment
The Welsh dragon is a fearsome beast, once flown on the banners of the battlefield. In Chinese mythology, dragons can control the elements and are symbols of power and strength. As The Royal Mint celebrated 50 years at its current home in Llantrisant, South Wales and continued to expand its bullion business into Asia, they released this coin celebrating the legendary creature that connects two very different cultures, revered by East and West. Issued in silver bullion and silver proof also.Bullion issue limit: 5,000
Proof issue limit: 300
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Pound Elizabeth II (Two Dragons; 1 oz Fine Gold) 2018 coin is that it features a unique design that showcases two dragons on the reverse side, which is not a common motif in British coinage. This design was created by artist John Bergdahl and was inspired by the legend of the two dragons that guard the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. The use of gold and the detailed design make this coin a standout piece in the world of numismatics.
