| UK (Welsh) Pound Coin | |

This version of the Welsh UK Pound Coin first appeared in 1995. This
replaced the old Welsh version of the coin, which depicted a leek with a
crown around it. The dragon on the coin is the Cadwaller dragon, the emblem
of Wales. This dragon is also found on the Welsh flag.

The Welsh flag depicts the Cadwaller dragon. The original version of the flag sometimes had the dragon standing on green hills.

| Wales Tourist Board | |
| The Wales Tourist Board logo is a development of the Cadwaller
Dragon. This modernised impression of the dragon looks more like a lindworm
than a heraldic dragon, as its legs have been removed.
