Following the successful release of the 'Queen's Beast' series of coins, the Royal Mint have now released a larger version as this 10oz Silver coin; the first ten ounce coin ever released 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.
The first coin features the Lion of England. The coin is fine Silver and weighs 10oz ounces (311.03 grams).
This coin has a face value of £10 and just like other British currency, this coin will be exempt of any Capital Gains Tax when you are ready to sell.
A note to collectors - the Queen's Beast series of coins will be issued one-by-one by the Royal Mint up until 2020. If you intend to collect this range, we will not have access to these earlier coins in 2020 as they are limited edition, so you will need to purchase them individually as they become available (roughly every six months).
