The reverse of the 2018 Proof British Gold Queen’s Beast Dragon Coins bears the design of the Red Dragon of Wales. In this depiction, the dragon stands tall over a quartered shield with leopards in each of the quadrants. This royal arms belonged to Llewelyn ap Griffith, the last native prince of Wales.

Queen Elizabeth II named the Red Dragon of Wales the official emblem of Wales in 1959, clearing the way for this heraldic beast to feature on the national flag of Wales. The Red Dragon originated in the royal arms through Owen Tudor, a man who claimed Welsh heritage and was the father of King Henry VII.
