Obverse: The obverse of the bar features the first official portrait of young Queen Elizabeth II, created by Mary Gillick in 1952. The portrait is placed in the central round section, surrounded by the inscription THE QUEENS BEASTS. Around the portrait are the ten heraldic beasts symbolizing Elizabeth II’s royal ancestry: the Lion of England, the Griffin of Edward III, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, the Black Bull of Clarence, the Yale of Beaufort, the White Lion of Mortimer, the White Greyhound of Richmond, the Red Dragon of Wales, the Unicorn of Scotland, and the White Horse of Hanover. The four corners display floral emblems of the UK nations: the English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh leek, and Irish shamrock. The background features a fine chain-pattern texture, adding depth and counterfeit protection.
Reverse: The reverse side shows The Royal Mint’s logo – a crowned shield of the United Kingdom. Next to the logo, the purity and weight of the silver are indicated: 1 oz 999.9 FINE SILVER. The background is also decorated with a chain-pattern texture for visual refinement and added security.
About the bar: This 1 oz silver bullion coin bar is a unique product from the renowned Royal Mint. The design is inspired by the 1953 coronation at Westminster Abbey, where ten heraldic beasts stood guard, representing Queen Elizabeth II’s dynastic heritage. The modern version of the design was created by Jody Clark and The Royal Mint Design Team.
The bar is minted from pure silver (Ag 999.9), weighs 1 troy ounce, and has a square shape (35 x 35 mm). The mintage is limited to just 70,000 pieces worldwide. A valuable choice for both collectors and investors who appreciate the symbolism of the British monarchy and superior quality.
