British Queen's Beasts Coin Series

Attractive Gold Bullion Coin Series

In 2016, the Royal Mint launched a new bullion coin series, called The Queen's Beasts.

As UK legal tender, these coins are exempt from CGT.

The Queen's Beasts

The inspiration behind this bullion coin series is the Queen's Beasts. These heraldic beasts stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history.

Each of the coins in the series will depict a different beast:-

  • The Lion of England
  • The White Greyhound of Richmond
  • The Yale of Beaufort
  • The Red Dragon of Wales
  • The White Horse of Hanover
  • The White Lion of Mortimer
  • The Unicorn of Scotland
  • The Griffin of Edward III
  • The Black Bull of Clarence
  • The Falcon of the Plantagenets

    • Design

    The beast designs have been created by the Royal Mint engraver, Jody Clark. His other work includes the fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which features on the obverse of the coins.

    Specification

    The coins are issued in 0.999 fine gold and are available in 1oz sizes.
