Since its debut, the series has become a favorite among investors and collectors, expanding to include 1 oz Platinum and 10 oz Silver bullion coins, as well as Gold and Silver Proof releases in various sizes. The reverse of each coin in the series features one of the 10 legendary beasts.
The Queen's Beast History: The 10 mythical creatures featured in this collector-favorite series pay homage to the statues present during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in 1953. Created from plaster by James Woodford, these six-foot-tall statues represented the royal heritage and history Queen Elizabeth II inherited. Today, the original plaster statues are housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while stone replicas can be found at Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom.
These 10 statues include:
- Lion of England
- Griffin of Edward III
- Unicorn of Scotland
- Red Dragon of Wales
- Black Bull of Clarence
- Falcon of Plantagenets
- Yale of Beaufort
- White Lion of Mortimer
- White Horse of Hanover
- The White Greyhound of Richmond
This bar is beautifully struck to The Royal Mint's bullion standards and features a unique square shape.
