About this coin

2021 Queen's Beasts Completer 1oz Gold Bullion Coin – Pre-Owned

This is the eleventh and final release in The Royal Mint's hugely popular Queen's Beasts series — the "Completer" coin, and the only design in the entire collection to bring all ten heraldic beasts together in a single piece. At Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, ten statues of mythical creatures stood guard at the entrance to Westminster Abbey, each representing a strand of royal ancestry. Over the following years, The Royal Mint issued a coin dedicated to each beast individually; this 2021 release, designed by Jody Clark, unites all ten in a protective circle around an effigy of the Queen herself.

Clockwise around the design: the Lion of England, the Red Dragon of Wales, the Griffin of Edward III, the Unicorn of Scotland, the Black Bull of Clarence, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, the Yale of Beaufort, the White Lion of Mortimer, the White Horse of Hanover, and the White Greyhound of Richmond. The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

This coin is pre-owned. As a bullion-standard release, it was never supplied with a box or certificate — Royal Mint bullion coins are issued loose in a protective capsule only, unlike the boxed proof versions in the same series. It is in genuine bullion condition, with light handling marks — primarily to the Queen's effigy on the obverse — consistent with a coin that has been in circulation among collectors. It has not been graded or certified by a third party.

The images shown are of the actual coin you will receive, not a stock or representative photo — what you see is exactly what you'll get, marks and all.

Why This Coin Stands Out

The Completer coin is a genuinely significant piece within the Queen's Beasts series — it's the design collectors specifically seek out to finish a full ten-beast set, and the only coin in the entire range to show the Queen alongside every beast at once. Buying pre-owned is a straightforward way to add this design to a collection at a more accessible price than a certified example.

Can I verify the coin's grade?

Yes. Every NGC-certified coin has a unique certification number visible on the slab label. You can verify the grade, coin details and population data at NGCcoin.uk using the cert number shown.

What is the population or top pop figure?

The NGC census records how many examples of each coin have been graded at each level. A Top Pop coin means no other example has achieved a higher grade — making it the finest certified specimen in existence for that issue.

Do you offer part exchange?

Yes. We accept all proof coins and graded coins in part exchange, including NGC and PCGS certified coins, boxed gold and silver proofs, and proof sets.
