Queen's Beasts Collection

I'm new to this collection. I really like it, but I'm having trouble figuring out what has already been released. I have the Lion and the Unicorn, but there looks like there are others that have been released. Can anyone point me to a URL with a list of what has released and maybe a product schedule? Thanks!

    Unfortunately they have broken the original "schedule" by bringing the Unicorn in early.
    So far: Lion
    Griffin
    Welsh Dragon

    Only the Lion and Unicorn only have been issued in proof. Don't know if I believe the schedules now though.....
    Only the Lion has been struck in bullion platinum, but with a 2017 date rather than the bullion silver and gold lion pieces that come only with the 2016 date.

    Try this link from the Royal Mint regarding currently available items.

    https://www.royalmintbullion.com/Products/Queens-Beasts

    2 oz. bullion format.

    I have purchased the 2 oz. bullion Lion, Griffin and Dragon. Very nice. Have not see any other beasts in this format so far.

    Release schedule.

    Couldn't find any schedule info on the Royal Mint website.

    The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

    Unfortunately that schedule has been thrown off as #10 (the unicorn) has been partially released as the fourth.

    Thank you very much for the information. I am collecting the 1 oz proof so it looks like I've gotten both of the ones that are available. Lion & Unicorn. Wonder why they jumped the Unicorn so far ahead of schedule....it is a very cool coin though.

    These come in a variety of finishes now including Black Ruthenium and Antique.

    Don't think those last are Royal Mint products.

    Do you know who makes them? I haven't seen any info posted but I'm curious now.

  • 7Jaguars7Jaguars Posts: 7,741 ✭✭✭✭✭

    No, but I have been seeing them as well. IMO gimmicky, but like the series.

    Yes. It seems there are a number of "Beast" items being offered that are not from the Royal Mint. Caveat emptor.

    Get those 10 oz coins. They are truly fun to have.

    I got the 10 oz Lion bullion, and PCGS graded it. The proofs are way more expensive....

    I got a few 10 oz bullion lions at $185 each shipped few weeks ago , but not planning to grade them.. More fun this way as they're truly beasts in both size and design.
