2019 1oz Platinum Coin, The Unicorn - Queen's Beast

The Royal Mint Queen's Beast series of coins continues to grow with the addition of the One Ounce Platinum Unicorn to the range. The Queen's Beasts are the first ever series of Platinum coins issued by the Royal Mint.

The Queen's Beasts are ten statues which stood guard for the Queen's Coronation, sculpted by James Woodford RA in 1953. The Queen's Beasts are still standing, but are currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, Canada. Stone replicas of the statues can be found at Kew Gardens.
