1 oz. Gold Royal Mint Queen’s Beast (Dates/Designs Vary)

The 1 oz Gold Queen’s Beasts series from The Royal Mint offers a striking tribute to British royal heritage through expertly crafted designs and investment-grade gold. Each coin is struck in .9999 fine gold and features one of ten historic beasts that stood as guardians during Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. With bold imagery and artistic precision, this collection merges numismatic beauty with tangible bullion value.

Each coin in the series showcases a different creature from British heraldry, with releases including the Lion of England, the Red Dragon of Wales, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, and the White Greyhound of Richmond. These creatures are more than symbolic figures. They represent the strength, legacy, and authority of centuries of monarchy. The reverse of each coin brings these beasts to life with sharp detailing, rich textures, and deeply sculpted features that highlight the mint’s commitment to design excellence.

The obverse carries the definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, lending each coin official recognition and historical context. The contrast between the commanding beast on the reverse and the regal profile on the obverse makes for a balanced and visually impactful design. The fields are clean, the strike is crisp, and the relief offers impressive clarity throughout.

Containing one troy ounce of 24-karat gold, these coins are sought after for both their artistic merit and bullion content. Collectors value the full ten-coin set, while investors appreciate the purity, liquidity, and market recognition that the Queen’s Beasts series commands. With designs that rotate and are not repeated, each coin carries lasting appeal well beyond its issue year.
