The 2017 Unicorn of Scotland Gold Proof Quarter-Ounce Coin is the second gold proof release in the Queen’s Beasts collection – one of The Royal Mint’s most successful and beautifully executed modern series.
Struck in 24 carat gold (999.9 fine) and finished to the highest proof standard, the coin features Jody Clark’s powerful design of the Unicorn of Scotland – a symbol of purity, power and national pride. The design is based on the ten heraldic beasts that stood guard outside Westminster Abbey during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
The obverse bears the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, also by Jody Clark, creating a cohesive and modern feel throughout the series.
With a limited worldwide mintage and strong collector demand for the Queen’s Beasts range, this quarter-ounce gold proof edition is both affordable and highly collectible. Each coin is presented in its original Royal Mint display case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Precious Metal Price Fluctuations
Please note that the prices of precious metals, such as gold and silver, are subject to fluctuations due to market conditions. As a result, the price of our bullion products can change frequently.
When you place an order, the price is locked in at the time of purchase, ensuring you pay the agreed amount regardless of any subsequent market movements.
We recommend acting quickly if you see a price that suits your investment strategy, as prices can vary significantly in a short period.
Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver
At Sovara Coins, we offer both new and preowned gold and silver products to suit various investment strategies. Purchasing preowned bullion can be a cost-effective option, as it often comes with a lower premium over the spot price, allowing you to maximize your investment.
While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
