The coins are considered to be highly collectible by both the investor and the collector of coins featuring the Queens Beasts.
Highlights:
The Red Dragon of Wales was introduced into the British Royal family through Henry VII. His grandfather, Owen Tudor, used the image as a badge symbol. The Red Dragon of Wales features the coat of arms that was last in use by the very last Prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.
The origins Red Dragon of Wales is rooted in the ancient myths of dragons. To the people of Britain, dragons were ferocious beasts that should be feared. With their power to breathe fire and destroy villages, armies, and whole kingdoms, the dragon was definitely feared amongst all. The dragon was ultimately adopted as a symbol of wisdom and power amongst the British monarchs.
