| Reverse description | The central silver field depicts the Red Dragon of Wales rendered in bold relief, coiled with its body arched rearward and its head lowered to the left foreground, with prominent claws, spread wings, and scaled tail. The dragon supports with its right forepaw a quartered heraldic shield charged with the Royal Arms of England, displaying three passant guardant lions in each quarter. The gold-plated outer ring carries the inscription THE DRAGON OF WALES along the upper arc and TWO POUNDS along the lower arc, each separated by raised bullet stops. |

| Additional information |
The Dragon of Wales is one of the Queen's Beasts series issued through Pobjoy Mint under the Isle of Man authority — a parallel program to the Royal Mint's own Queen's Beasts run, but distinct in its licensing and striking arrangements. Pobjoy, based in Kingswood, Surrey, held long-standing contracts with several smaller Crown dependencies and produced collector coinage well outside the mainstream Royal Mint pipeline. The gold-plated outer ring is an electrolytic application added after striking, a finishing technique Pobjoy employed across several of its bimetallic-appearance collector pieces from this period.
