The Queen's Beasts (Gold)

The Queen's Beasts Gold - The Queen's Beasts 1 oz Gold bullion coin series celebrates the British Monarchy and the centuries of fascinating heraldry that has been a part of their story. Each animal of The Queen's Beasts is fashioned into 1 oz .9999 fine Gold and Gold Proof coins beginning in 2016.

At the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen, ten heraldic beasts stood guard. Plaster models were created for the occasion, symbolizing the various strands of royal ancestry brought together in a young woman about to be crowned queen. Today, The Queen's Beasts can be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while Portland stone replicas watch over Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom.

Royal Mint Coin Designer Jody Clark has reimagined The Queen's Beasts taking form in a 1 oz .9999 fine Gold and Proof Gold coin. Each of the 10 beasts will adorn the reverse of these Gold coins. The Queen's Beasts will include the following designs:

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