In 2016, the Royal Mint introduced an exquisite collection of coins known as the Queen’s Beasts series. This collection consists of ten coins, each featuring a stylized representation of one of the heraldic statues present at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. These statues symbolize the Queen's royal lineage and heritage. For this blog, I will delve into the bullion versions of these remarkable coins.
The Queen’s Beasts bullion coins are available in several precious metals and weights:
- Gold: 1oz and 1/4oz
- Silver: 10oz and 2oz
- Platinum: 1oz
Notably, the silver coin in this series marked the introduction of the first 2oz silver bullion coin in the United Kingdom.The entire series was masterfully designed by engraver Jody Clark, whose artistry captures the regal essence of each beast.
