The Red Dragon of Wales is one of the most recognizable symbols in Welsh history. Featured on the national flag of Wales, the dragon represents strength, pride, and the enduring cultural identity of the Welsh people. Its place in British heraldry stretches back centuries and has made it one of the most important beasts in the Queen’s Beast collection.

The obverse of the 2026 Pitcairn Islands Gold Queen’s Beast Dragon Coin features King Charles III. As the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles became monarch following her passing in September 2022 and was formally crowned in May 2023. The left-profile portrait shown on this coin was created by artist Glyn Davies and appears on select coin programs produced by The Tower Mint.

On the reverse of 2026 1/2 Gram Gold Queen’s Beast Dragon Coins, you will find the Red Dragon of Wales alongside the royal cypher of Elizabeth II. The dragon also has a close connection to the royal family, as it represents Wales, the nation traditionally associated with the title Prince of Wales. Queen Elizabeth II officially invested her son Charles with that title during a ceremony at Caernarfon Castle in 1969, bringing renewed attention to Welsh traditions and heraldry.
