The new 2019 Queen's Beast - Yale of Beaufort 2oz silver coin. This stunning silver coin is part of a series of ten coins that feature the "Queen's Beasts".
This 2019 coin features the Yale Of Beaufort. A 'Yale' is a mythical beast found in European mythology and the imagery was used by the Beaufort family during the fifteenth century. The black-coloured Yale (aka Centicore) has long and flexible horns, which can be moved independently of each other. It is the size of a horse with an elephant's tail. The Yale symbolises a proud defence.
The coin is fine Silver (999.9) and weighs two ounce (62.2 grams). The Royal Mint issued an initial 100,000 coins, though the Queen's Beast series is officially of unlimited mintage until the end of the year of issue.
The silver Yale coin has a face value of £5 and, just like other British currency, this coin will be exempt of any Capital Gains Tax when you are ready to sell.
The Queen's Beasts are ten statues which stood guard for the Queen's Coronation in 1953. They were sculpted by James Woodford RA and his designs have been used by Jody Clark of the Royal Mint for the coin designs. 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.

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 supply of 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).
