1995 - Welsh Dragon

From www.chards.co.uk: "Reverse Design: Dragon passant representing Wales by Norman Sillman.

 

Although Wales is considered a principality, the Welsh are fiercely proud of their heritage and the Welsh language is spoken by more than a quarter of their population. Since the 16th century, the dragon has been recognised as the heraldic emblem of Wales. The dragon epitomises the fire, strength and spirit of this proud nation.

 

Obverse Design: Elizabeth II third coin portrait by Raphael Maklouf.
