2018 Red Dragon of Wales 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin

The Red Dragon has been the emblem of Wales for centuries, and in 2018 The Royal Mint gave it a coin of its own. Jody Clark's design shows the dragon in a bold, heraldic stance, rendered in The Royal Mint's finest proof finish on a quarter-ounce of 999.9 fine gold.

Jody Clark is in a rare position for a modern coin designer: as well as this reverse, he designed the obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, so both sides of this coin are his work. He is also the designer of The Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts series.

Struck to a maximum mintage of just 1,500, it has become an increasingly hard coin to find in its original presentation.

Looking to buy a 2018 Red Dragon 1/4oz gold proof? This is the boxed Royal Mint issue, in its original case with the accompanying booklet.

Can I verify the coin's grade?

Yes. Every NGC-certified coin has a unique certification number visible on the slab label. You can verify the grade, coin details and population data at NGCcoin.uk using the cert number shown.

What is the population or top pop figure?

The NGC census records how many examples of each coin have been graded at each level. A Top Pop coin means no other example has achieved a higher grade — making it the finest certified specimen in existence for that issue.

Do you offer part exchange?


Yes. We accept all proof coins and graded coins in part exchange, including NGC and PCGS certified coins, boxed gold and silver proofs, and proof sets. 

Tell us what you'd like to trade and which coin you have your eye on, and we'll give you a bespoke cost-to-change valuation.
