The 2 oz Silver Queen’s Beasts series from The Royal Mint is one of the most celebrated bullion collections ever produced. Each release in this 10-coin series features a unique heraldic design inspired by the ten mythical beasts that guarded the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Struck in 2 full ounces of .9999 fine silver, these coins beautifully capture the artistry and regality of British heraldry. The obverse depicts Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark, while the reverse varies between the ten heraldic beasts, each sculpted in incredible detail. Every coin in this collection celebrates the royal lineage and symbolism that has defined the British monarchy for centuries.
The Queen’s Beasts Legacy
At the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, ten majestic heraldic beasts stood guard at Westminster Abbey. These creatures represented the ancestry and power of the Crown, connecting her reign to centuries of British royal heritage. Sculpted by James Woodford RA, the original beasts still stand tall — six-foot statues now displayed at the Canadian Museum of History and replicated in stone at Kew Gardens.
The ten beasts in the collection are: The Lion of England, The Griffin of Edward III, The Red Dragon of Wales, The Unicorn of Scotland, The Black Bull of Clarence, The Falcon of the Plantagenets, The Yale of Beaufort, The White Lion of Mortimer, The White Horse of Hanover, and The White Greyhound of Richmond. Each symbolizes courage, power, and royal legitimacy — values that endure through every generation of the monarchy.
