| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold heraldic depiction of the Red Dragon of Wales passant, posed atop a shield bearing the arms of Llywelyn the Great, rendered in deeply struck relief against a frosted background. The dragon is shown with wings displayed, tail curled, and claws extended, capturing its traditional heraldic character with precision and dynamism. The shield beneath displays the quartered arms associated with the medieval Welsh prince. The inscription naming the subject appears in the upper and lower fields, with the date flanking the central device. The designer's initials JC appear within the legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Red Dragon entered royal heraldry through the Tudor claim to the Welsh throne — Henry VII adopted it deliberately to legitimize his dynasty's British roots after Bosworth in 1485. It has appeared on the Welsh flag in its current form since 1959, making it one of the few national symbols explicitly excluded from the Union Jack.
This piece is part of the Queen's Beasts series, a ten-coin program the Royal Mint launched to commemorate the heraldic figures that flanked the young Elizabeth II at her 1953 coronation.
