Product Description
The Queen's Beasts series has become one of the most recognisable numismatic themes of recent years. Each beast is a heraldic guardian of the monarchy, with statues famously flanking the entrance of Westminster Abbey at Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. This 5g gold bar brings all ten together in one intricate design, encircling a portrait of the young queen created by Mary Gillick - an image that itself marked a fresh chapter in post-war British coinage.
While most bullion bars prioritise simplicity, here the artistry is central. Every detail has been carefully struck into the surface of the gold, from the animals' flowing forms to the floral emblems of the four nations. These same motifs appeared on the Coronation Crown of 1953 and, more recently, on the King's Memorial 50p - bridging past and present in a uniquely symbolic way.
The bar is further distinguished by its unusual square form, a milled edge for definition, and a unique serial number for traceability. Each piece is sealed within bespoke blister packaging, designed to protect its finish and ensure authenticity.
Given its limited release of just 1,500 worldwide, this 5g bar offers more than intrinsic gold value. It represents a moment in Britain's numismatic story, carrying appeal to collectors who appreciate scarcity as well as to investors seeking fine gold in a recognisable format.

Denomination Information
The Queen's Beasts occupy a special place in modern British heraldry. Commissioned for Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, ten imposing statues symbolised the royal ancestry of the young monarch. Lions, dragons, unicorns and other mythic beasts each represented a strand of her lineage, brought together in a striking sculptural ensemble at Westminster Abbey.
In recent years, these figures inspired a hugely popular bullion coin programme, introducing a new generation of investors and collectors to Britain's heraldic traditions. This 5g gold bar represents a natural continuation of that story, uniting all ten beasts around Mary Gillick's definitive portrait of the Queen. Gillick's youthful effigy, used on coinage from 1953, became one of the most widely recognised royal portraits of the 20th century. By combining it with the heraldic beasts and national flowers, the bar stands as both a tribute and a tangible piece of Britain's numismatic heritage.
