The Queen’s Beasts have become one of the most revered landmarks of Great Britain.
Originally created for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, the Queen’s Beasts statues were meant to symbolize the unique lineage and familial support of the Queen. She has become the longest reigning monarch in this history of the British Monarchy, which is thousands of years old.
Her incredible reign is represented by many classic British symbols, including the historic Queen’s Beasts. The Queen’s Beasts Series commemorates these majestic statues. Since 2016, the British Royal Mint has produced gold coins that represent the statues, as well as the historical nobles they represent.
The 2021 Great Britain 1 Oz Gold Queen’s Beasts Completer Coin ultimately represents the culmination of this impressive collectable series. This is the final coin in the series, and it features images of every single one of the Queen’s Beasts, which surround Queen Elizabeth’s face. The intricate details of this coin make it easy for onlookers to identify each of the Beasts.
The most historically-minded collectors are sure to appreciate the thousands of years of history implied in this coin’s reverse-side design. As with all of our coins from the British Royal Mint, this piece comes shipped in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.

This piece represents the official conclusion of the Queen’s Beasts coin series by the British Royal Mint. Since 2016, regular releases in this series have captivated collectors all over the world. As far as final completer coins go, you can’t do much better than this piece.
The 2021 British 1 Oz Gold Queen’s Beasts Completer Coin pays homage to all of the previous pieces in the collection. The design of each Beast encircles Jody Clark’s depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, and each animal’s image is depicted in brilliant detail set against the solid .9999 gold of the collectible coin.
The obverse of this coin might seem like nothing special. Queen Elizabeth II’s depiction by Jody Clark represents one of the most famous images of the Queen, especially within the bullion community. In this effigy, she is depicted wearing her crown, as well as a beautiful pearl earring. Both the obverse and reverse of the 2021 Queen’s Beasts Completer Coin revel in texture variety.
The smoothness of the backgrounds behind each of the Queen’s Beasts, the repeating textured background behind Queen Eizabeth’s effigy, and a number of other variations make the design of this coin particularly special.
For bullion fans who have already started collecting the coins in the Queen’s Beasts series, the 2021 1 Oz Gold Completer Coin is a spectacular way to cap off an exciting collection. But even for people who are only vaguely familiar with Queen Elizabeth II and her impressive lineage, the appearance and pure gold minting of this piece makes it well worth the cost.
