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. Also struck in gold bullion and gold proof.Bullion issue limit: 50,000
Proof issue limit: 2,500
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features two dragons on its design, which is a rare and unique feature for a coin.
