Minted in high-relief with highest purity and 2 oz weight, this silver bullion coin series has become a highly treasured favorite among collectors and precious metals investors world-wide. The coin's obverse displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the 5 pounds face value. Quite interestingly, the Queen's portrait was also designed by Jody Clark and adopted into British coinage since 2016. The reverse features a stylized and beautifully detailed image of the Red Dragon of Wales. Encircling the rim are the inscriptions, RED DRAGON OF WALES. The designer's initials are below and to the right of the shield. The winged dragon's scaled, serpentine body reveals its fierce strength as its size nearly breaks out of the coin's center field.

Its face is indeed a fearsome sight! The dragon's right claw is extended forward, ready for battle, if required.

Its left claw grasps the shield. This is truly a remarkable coin!
