The Red Dragon of Wales is the oldest heraldic beast in the written history of the British Isles. Though the Lion of England and Griffin of Edward III precede the Red Dragon in the history of the Royal Arms of England, it is the Welsh dragon that has a long history within the British Isles themselves. The beast featured prominently in the Queen’s Beast Coin Series from the Royal Mint and is now available in a 10 oz silver statue collection from Hotco alongside its fellow heraldic beasts. Now, 10 oz Antique Finish Queen’s Beast The Red Dragon of Wales Silver Statues are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Statue Highlights:
The Lion of England came to the Royal Arms of England first in 1198 during the reign of King Richard I when the first official Royal Arms of England was adopted. King Edward III was the next to add a heraldic beast to the Royal Arms with the addition of the Griffin during his 14th-century reign. While the Red Dragon of Wales dates to the reign of the House of Tudor from the late-15th century to the early-17th century, tales of the Red Dragon predate all others.
Known to some simply as the Welsh dragon, the Red Dragon was written about in Historia Brittonum more than 300 years before the Lion of England emerged on the Royal Arms of Richard I. In 829 CE, the Red Dragon of Wales was written about as a symbol of Wales and was also said to be the battle standard of the mythical King Arthur. It would be another 650 years until the Red Dragon became a part of the Royal Arms of England with the ascension to the throne of King Henry VII, the first monarch of the House of Tudor.
10 oz Antique Finish Queen’s Beast The Red Dragon of Wales Silver Statues depict the powerful Welsh dragon standing behind a quartered shield. The shield supported by the Red Dragon is that of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales. The quartered shield bears the coat of arms of Wales, with a rampant lion in each of the four quarters.
These 10 oz Antique Finish Queen’s Beast The Red Dragon of Wales Silver Statues are available to you brand new from the mint. Each one is packaged in a standard shipping box with protective packaging materials around the statue and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity inside.
