At the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen, ten heraldic beasts stood guard. The Queen’s Beasts, sculpted by James Woodford RA for the coronation ceremony held in Westminster Abbey in 1953, stand six feet tall. The heraldic creatures symbolized the various strands of royal ancestry brought together in a young woman about to be crowned queen. Each proud beast, used as a heraldic badge by generations that went before her, was inspired by the King’s Beasts of Henry VIII that still line the bridge over the moat at his Hampton Court Palace.
Today, The Queen’s Beasts can be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while Portland stone replicas, also carved by James Woodford, watch over Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom. But these mythical, ancient creatures such as the lion, griffin, falcon, bull, yale, greyhound, dragon, unicorn and horse have gone on to inspire the highly-praised new talent, Royal Mint Coin Designer Jody Clark.
The Celtic dragon represents sovereignty and power. The Welsh dragon was used in the Royal Arms in the sixteenth century and the Red Dragon of Cadwallader is the emblem on the national flag of Wales. The red dragon gained popularity due to it supposed link of being the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders. Its association with these leaders along with other evidence from archeology, literature, and documentary history led many to suppose that it evolved from an earlier Romano-British national symbol. During the reigns of the Tudor monarchs, the red dragon was used as a supporter in the English Crown's coat of arms.

I've recently become aware of the Queens Beasts series collection. I liked the shiney polished mirror like accents on the silver Brittanias. I searched APMEX and saw the 9999 silver Queens Beasts. Love at first sight! This coin is beautiful! I've bought all 7 five oz. coins currently available. I can't wait to get the last 3 in the series. APMEX is my go to dealer!!!

These coins have everything going for them, great pedigree, excellent design that pops, and you have to love the heft of the 2 oz rounds. Plan on getting all of these as they come out for a "Queens Beast" set...well worth the investment, given low premium, limited mintage, and high collectability.

These coins are thick, about twice as thick as an ASE and a little smaller around. Perfect size for 2oz in my opinion, great buy.
