2oz Silver Coin, Unicorn of Scotland - Queen's Beast

This beautiful coin is the fourth of a series of ten that feature the "Queen's Beasts". 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 fourth coin features the Unicorn of Scotland which represents innocence and purity. The coin is fine Silver (999.9) and weighs two ounce (62.2 grams).

This 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.

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).
