We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the standard commercial bullion grade applied to freshly struck Royal Mint issues. The combination of high purity, recognized origin, and a standout series design makes this a well-regarded product across both the collector and bullion markets.
The Queen's Beasts series was launched by The Royal Mint in 2016 to honor the ten heraldic creatures that stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Each figure was depicted as a sculpted champion representing the ancient royal lineages that converged in the Queen's ancestry. The series was designed to celebrate that ceremonial tradition in a modern bullion format, drawing from centuries of British heraldic history.
The Red Dragon of Wales appeared in the 2017 release as the second coin in the series. Wales has long used the red dragon as its national symbol, and its inclusion in the Queen's Beasts lineup reflects the deep constitutional and cultural ties between Wales and the British Crown. The Royal Mint, operating from its facility in Llantrisant, Wales, brought particular resonance to the dragon's release given the mint's own physical location in Welsh territory.
The Royal Mint itself has operated in various forms for over 1,000 years, making it one of the oldest and most established sovereign minting institutions in the world. Its bullion programs, including the Queen's Beasts series, are produced to exacting standards and distributed through authorized dealer networks globally.
The reverse of the coin features Jody Clark's striking interpretation of the Red Dragon of Wales, rendered in sharp sculptural relief. The dragon is depicted rearing upright, clutching a shield bearing the royal arms of the United Kingdom. The design carries a sense of controlled power, with detailed scaling, clawed feet, and spread wings that fill the coin's generous surface area. The inscription "QUEEN'S BEASTS" appears alongside the weight, purity, and metal type.
The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced in 2015 and used across Royal Mint coinage during this period. The portrait faces right and is surrounded by the standard inscriptions denoting her title, the denomination, and the year of issue. The combination of the regal portrait and the heraldic reverse creates a deliberate visual contrast between formal authority and mythological force.
The Brilliant Uncirculated finish preserves the coin's as-struck detail, with no wear or abrasion to the raised design elements. The larger 2 oz diameter allows the intricacy of Clark's engraving to read with exceptional clarity, particularly in the dragon's wings and the fine linework of the shield design.
Each coin is struck by The Royal Mint to a confirmed weight of 2 troy ounces and a purity of .9999 fine silver, among the highest silver fineness standards used in sovereign bullion coinage. The Royal Mint's production processes include rigorous quality controls and precise die work that together ensure consistency across the entire mintage. The coin's specifications are inscribed directly on the reverse, providing immediate verification of both metal content and origin.
We verify every product for authenticity, weight, and purity before it is offered through our platform. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support our ability to authenticate and, where applicable, facilitate professional grading of coins from the Queen's Beasts series. Buyers can purchase with confidence knowing the product meets the standards set by one of the world's most respected sovereign minting institutions.
This coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, which describes a freshly struck coin that has not been placed into circulation and retains its original mint surfaces. BU coins may show minor contact marks from the minting and handling process, but these are considered normal for the grade and do not diminish the coin's quality or metal content. This is the standard commercial condition for Royal Mint bullion releases.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to guard the surfaces during transit. The standard tube for the 2 oz Queen's Beasts coins holds 10 pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in the original Royal Mint tube. Larger bulk orders ship in the corresponding sealed box format. Packaging preserves the coin's condition and makes storage straightforward whether you are adding a single piece to a collection or building a larger holding.
Pricing for the 2017 Queen's Beasts Dragon 2 oz silver coin is based on the current spot price of silver, with a premium applied above that base price. Because the coin contains 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, spot price movements have a proportionally larger effect on its nominal price compared to a standard one-ounce issue. Buyers should factor this into their price monitoring when evaluating entry points.
The premium above spot reflects several converging factors: the coin's limited mintage within a now-complete 10-coin series, strong collector demand, Royal Mint production quality, and the series' established reputation in the secondary market. Coins from completed series often carry more stable premiums than ongoing releases, as the total supply is fixed. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured with transparency rather than complexity, so you can see exactly what you are paying and why.
The Queen's Beasts series enjoys strong international recognition among both bullion buyers and collectors, which contributes to consistent secondary market activity for the Dragon coin. The standardized weight and .9999 purity make it straightforward to evaluate against spot pricing in any resale context. Completed series with well-regarded designs from sovereign mints tend to maintain reliable demand across dealer and collector networks.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals through our platform using competitive buyback pricing. Liquidity is a consideration worth evaluating before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale. Our platform is designed to support both sides of the transaction with the same emphasis on transparency and efficiency that applies to every product we carry.
The Dragon coin benefits from being part of a now-complete series with a defined mintage and strong thematic identity. Collectors who pursued the full Queen's Beasts set drove consistent demand throughout the series run, and that established interest continues to support the coin's recognition in the secondary market. The 2 oz format provides meaningful metal content while the heraldic design gives it additional appeal beyond pure weight-based pricing.
The Royal Mint's reputation for precision and the .9999 fine silver standard used throughout the series make this a credible choice for buyers who want a recognized sovereign coin with above-average silver content per piece. The coin's combination of government backing, high purity, and artistic distinction sets it apart from generic rounds or bars at a similar weight.
We have built our reputation over more than a decade on transparent pricing, reliable fulfillment, and straightforward customer relationships. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions without unnecessary markups or hidden complexity. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, which reflect our commitment to professional and ethical standards across every transaction.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to support customers who want professional grading services in addition to standard purchases. Our sourcing draws from reputable mints, wholesalers, and distributors, and every product is verified before it reaches our customers. We support both buying and selling through a competitive two-way market that emphasizes liquidity and pricing transparency from start to finish. Customer service is responsive, knowledgeable, and focused on long-term relationships rather than one-time transactions.
