Aled Davies helped Great Britain pass its Paralympics athletics gold medal haul of 2008 with a dominant performance in the F42 discus final.
The 21-year-old, who won bronze in the shot put, threw a British record 46.14m to hand GB its third title in London.
Sprinters Graeme Ballard and Libby Clegg with her guide Mikail Huggins, and long jumper Stef Reid won silvers.
However, it was disappointment for Shelly Woods, who could only finish eighth in the T54 5,000m final.
"I'm probably the happiest guy on planet," said Davies. "It was a tough competition, I dug in deep. I'm speechless. This crowd and everything - unbelievable."
Iran's Mehrdad Karam Zadeh made it a nerve-wracking wait for the Welshman when he produced a huge final throw - but the mark was recorded at 44.62m.
"He was not going to go without a fight," added Davies, who was born with hemilia in his right leg. "I saw the final throw land. When I found out it was a few centimetres short I was relieved."
