The 2027 Royal Tudor Beasts Completer Coin: Full Range, Mintages & Why It Sold Out in an Hour
On 10th September 2026, The Royal Mint released its 2027 Royal Tudor Beasts Completer coin: the coin that finally brings all ten Tudor beasts together on a single design after five years of individual releases. By the time most collectors had finished their morning coffee, almost every version of it was gone.
Here's the full range, what sold out and when, the editions that were never sold on royalmint.com, and why the Queen's Beasts Completer, the coin this one follows, is worth understanding before you buy.

What is the Completer coin?
Since 2022, The Royal Mint has released one Tudor beast a year as part of its Royal Tudor Beasts collection, a partnership with Historic Royal Palaces inspired by the ten stone heraldic statues that line the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace, representing the marriage of King Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour. The Seymour Panther, Lion of England, Yale of Beaufort, Bull of Clarence, Seymour Unicorn, Tudor Dragon, Greyhound of Richmond, Queen's Panther, Royal Dragon and Queen's Lion have each had their own coin, one beast at a time.
The 2027 coin is different. Rather than a single beast, its reverse brings all ten together in one design, encircling a central Tudor rose, with the whole arrangement framed by detail inspired by Tudor architecture. Like every coin in the series, it was designed by illustrator and sculptor David Lawrence, with King Charles III's official coinage portrait by Martin Jennings on the obverse.
Interestingly, The Royal Mint doesn't use the word "Completer" anywhere in the coin's official title. It's simply "The Royal Tudor Beasts 2027 UK Coin". But the nickname has stuck, carried over directly from the equivalent coin in the Queen's Beasts series, and it's how collectors and dealers across the trade refer to it.
Why the Queen's Beasts Completer matters here
To understand why this release generated so much demand, it helps to look at what happened the last time The Royal Mint did this. The Queen's Beasts series ran from 2016 to 2021, and its own Completer coin, bringing together all ten Queen's Beasts around a central effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, was the standout release of the entire series. The 1oz gold proof version was struck to an official maximum mintage of just 625, and it sold out completely.
Several years on, examples trade well above their original issue prices on the secondary market, particularly the smaller-mintage gold sizes and top-graded coins. We currently hold the 2021 Queen's Beasts Completer 1oz Gold Proof boxed as issued, and a PF70 Ultra Cameo graded example.
That history is what collectors had in mind on release day: a genuine "final chapter" coin, in a series that has been popular in its own right for five years, with a design you can't get anywhere else in the range. Past performance is no guarantee of what any coin will do in future, but it goes a long way to explaining the speed of the sellout.

Here's the complete range as sold directly by The Royal Mint, with the official limited edition, issue price and status on release, and where to find each one at Sovara Coins:

| 1oz Gold Proof | 300 | £5,320.00 | Sold out on release day | View |
| 2oz Gold Proof | 75 | £10,535.00 | Sold out on release day | View |
Everything sold out on release day except the £5 Brilliant Uncirculated coin and the 1oz Silver Proof, which was struck to a considerably larger edition of 6,000. That too sold out on 19th September, just over a week later.
The Silver Proof Two-Coin Set deserves a special mention. It pairs a standard proof with a Reverse Frosted Proof of the same 1oz coin, and the set is the only way to obtain the Reverse Frosted version. At just 375 sets, it's one of the scarcest silver editions in the whole range.
Sold out within the hour
Exactly how fast did it go? The Royal Mint hasn't published an official sellout time, but collectors watching the release put it at under an hour for most sizes. One collector on a popular UK precious metals forum totted up the numbers, multiplying each size's edition by its issue price using The Royal Mint's own published figures, and arrived at roughly £3.58 million worth of coins sold in that window. It's a community estimate rather than an official figure, but a striking one all the same. The 2oz gold proof, struck to just 75 pieces at £10,535 each, was reportedly among the very first to go.
For a coin with an issue price starting at over £1,000 for the smallest gold option, that's a remarkable pace, and it says a lot about how collectors saw this release: not as a nice-to-have addition to an existing collection, but as the one Tudor Beasts coin nobody wanted to miss.
Update, 19th September 2026: the 1oz Silver Proof has now sold out too, with The Royal Mint confirming its edition of 6,000 was reached on Saturday 19th September. Every proof version of the 2027 Completer is now sold out directly from The Royal Mint.
The pieces you won't find on royalmint.com
If you've seen photos of a matte-finish 2oz gold proof, a platinum version, a privy-marked gold coin or a tiny 1/10oz gold proof and wondered why you can't find them on The Royal Mint's own site, that's because they were never sold there. As with a number of recent Royal Mint commemorative ranges, some sizes and finishes in the 2027 Completer range were made available exclusively through specific Royal Mint-authorised retailers, including at least one platinum proof version (reportedly struck to a very small worldwide total) and a matte-finish 2oz gold proof authorised in similarly limited numbers.
Privy-marked editions fall into the same category. Our 1oz Gold Proof Privy Mark Edition is one of these: the standard 1oz gold proof design, set apart by a small additional mark on the reverse and issued in far smaller numbers.
So the "official" range you see on royalmint.com is only part of the full picture. If you're chasing a specific size or finish that never appeared on The Royal Mint's own site, it's worth asking a specialist dealer rather than assuming it doesn't exist.
What this means if you want one
With every proof version now sold out at The Royal Mint, the secondary market is the only route to owning one. Supply there will be limited, especially for the smaller editions: there are only 75 of the 2oz gold proof and 300 of the 1oz gold proof in the standard range, and many will go straight into long-term collections.
We're bringing in a range of 2027 Completer coins ourselves, boxed as issued by The Royal Mint. You'll find everything we have, or have on the way, in our Royal Tudor Beasts Completer collection. Coins marked Coming soon are on their way to us: open any listing and use Notify me to hear the moment it's in stock.

FAQ
What is the 2027 Royal Tudor Beasts Completer coin?
It's the final coin in The Royal Mint's five-year Royal Tudor Beasts series, released on 10th September 2026 (year-dated 2027), bringing all ten Tudor beasts together on a single reverse design around a central Tudor rose. It's widely referred to by collectors as the "Completer" coin, though that word doesn't appear in its official Royal Mint title.
Did the 2027 Completer coin really sell out in an hour?
Every size except the £5 Brilliant Uncirculated coin and the 1oz Silver Proof (edition of 6,000) showed as no longer available directly from The Royal Mint on release day, and collector reports put most of that within roughly an hour of release. The Royal Mint hasn't published an official sellout time. The 1oz Silver Proof followed on 19th September.
Is anything from the range still available?
Directly from The Royal Mint, only the £5 Brilliant Uncirculated coin. Every proof version, in silver and gold, is now sold out and available only on the secondary market. See what we have in stock or on the way in our Completer collection.
What is the Reverse Frosted Proof?
A reverse frosted proof reverses the usual finish: instead of frosted design on mirror-polished fields, the fields are frosted and the design is polished. In the 2027 range it was only issued in the Silver Proof Two-Coin Set, limited to 375 sets, alongside a standard proof of the same coin.
Why weren't the platinum and matte gold versions on The Royal Mint's website?
Certain sizes and finishes in this release, including a platinum proof and a matte-finish 2oz gold proof, were distributed exclusively through specific Royal Mint-authorised retailers rather than sold directly on royalmint.com, a distribution pattern The Royal Mint has used on other recent commemorative ranges.
How does this compare to the Queen's Beasts Completer coin?
The 2021 Queen's Beasts Completer is widely regarded as one of the standout releases of that series. Its 1oz gold proof was struck to a maximum mintage of just 625 and sold out, and examples now trade above their original issue price on the secondary market. The 2027 Tudor Beasts Completer's release-day sellout shows similar early demand, though no coin's future value is guaranteed.
Are Completer coins exempt from Capital Gains Tax?
As UK legal tender, gains on these coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. This is general information, not tax advice.
