| Additional information |
The Welsh dragon pound was first issued in standard format in 1994, making this 1995 piedfort the immediate follow-up. Piedforts — struck at double thickness on specially prepared dies with a polished finish — have been a deliberate Royal Mint collector vehicle since their modern revival in 1982, timed to coincide with the introduction of the new pound coin itself. The series rotates through the four nations of the United Kingdom on a recurring cycle, and the Welsh issue remains one of the more popular entries among collectors of the run.
