Such a powerful mythological creature is depicted on this 1 oz pure silver round. The Welsh Red Dragon is the third of the Celtic Lore’s 1 oz silver round series. The silver dragon is minted with raised, 3D artwork and an antique finish which truly adds to the time and place this silver dragon brings you to. The Osborne Mint has produced this limited edition round in 999 silver.
The Celtic Lore silver 1 oz round series highlights original artwork by famous artist and illustrator Howard David Johnson. In addition to Johnson’s art, three-dimensional details, crafted by sculptor Luigi Badia for these .999 silver rounds, is visible in the dragon’s features; the scales of this silver dragon, and the stone-walled castle floating in the fog that surrounds it.
The obverse of the pure silver round features the Welsh Red Dragon, which we hear about in tales of King Arthur and legends of Merlin, the wizard. Dragons are used today as symbols to represent guardians of power and wisdom and can be seen on the flag of Wales. On the reverse of the 1 oz silver round, you’ll see an intricate Celtic knot pattern. Celtic knot art uses an interlacing pattern consisting of an endless knot and was used extensively in century-old Celtic artwork.
