When the Royal Mint introduced the Queens Beast Series in 2016, it not only embarked on a new coin design series that would run for six years, but it also introduced a new bullion weight it had never offered before. Prior to the debut of the British Silver Queens Beast Coins, there had never been a 2 oz silver bullion coin from the mint.

The final release in the Queens Beast Series doesnt feature a new heraldic beast, but rather, all 10 beasts introduced to collectors and investors from 2016 to 2021. The final piece in the series brings together all 10 of the Queens Beasts as passed down to her over the course of 1,000 years of history for the British monarchy. Each design in the series was created by Jody Clark, the same man who created the definitive fifth-generation portrait of the Queen that now graces British coins.
The obverse side of 2021 British Silver Queens Beast Collection Coins comes with the fifth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Developed in 2015 by Jody Clark, this image showcases the Queen in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. The effigy of the Queen is set against a guilloche background element that offers security against counterfeiting.
On the reverse field of the 2021 2 oz Silver Queens Beast Collection Coin, you will find the same portrait of the Queen shrunk in size to fit into a smaller portion of the coins central field. Around the effigy of the Queen, each one of the 10 heraldic beasts surrounds the Queen. From the Lion of England to the White Greyhound of Richmond, the beasts that have supported the Royal Arms of England over the last 1,000 years now surround the realms longest-reigning monarch.
