Queen's Beasts
| Explore our range of Queen’s Beasts Coins, featuring the complete Royal Mint series issued between 2016 and 2021 celebrating the ten heraldic beasts that symbolised the royal ancestry of Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953. Struck in gold and silver across multiple sizes and finishes, the Queen’s Beasts collection has become one of the most popular modern British coin series ever produced.
The series includes iconic designs such as the Lion of England, Unicorn of Scotland, Red Dragon of Wales, Griffin of Edward III, Yale of Beaufort and White Greyhound of Richmond, all created by Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark. The collection concluded with the highly sought-after 2021 Completer Coin featuring all ten beasts together in a single design. Queen’s Beasts coins were issued in a wide variety of formats including:
Modern bullion issues are struck in .9999 fine gold or silver and are highly popular among both collectors and investors due to their legal tender status, CGT exemption for UK residents and globally recognised Royal Mint quality. Proof editions were issued in strictly limited mintages across multiple precious metal formats and sizes, including large-format 5oz, 10oz and kilo collector pieces. Many examples are presented in official Royal Mint packaging with certificates of authenticity, while selected coins are professionally graded by PCGS or NGC. The Queen’s Beasts series is especially prized for its detailed heraldic artwork, low mintages and broad range of collectable formats spanning both gold and silver. Collectors frequently pursue complete date and beast runs across bullion, proof and fractional editions, with the Completer Coin regarded as one of the key modern Royal Mint releases.
