About the Queen's Beasts Series

The Queen's Beasts series is an official bullion series consisting of 10 coins, developed by the Royal Mint in 2016.

Its origins date back to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

On that day, ten giant heraldic beasts lined up guarding the entrance to Westminster Abbey symbolized the bloodline, alliances, and legitimacy of the British royal family.

These statues were sculpted by sculptor James Woodford RA and remain an important cultural legacy, telling the story of the royal family.

The Yale of Beaufort, released in 2019, is the seventh in the series.

What is a Yale?

A Yale is a mythical beast from medieval Europe.

According to legend, the Yale is described as a creature with the body of a hippopotamus, an elephant-like tail, a boar-like jaw, and two enormous, swivelable horns.

Rather than a mere monster, its appearance has come to symbolize intelligence, defense, and flexible strength.

The Yale of Beaufort Lineage

The Yale is known as the heraldic animal of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII of England.

She was an important woman who laid the foundation for the Tudor dynasty, and the Yale was chosen to symbolize her authority and intelligence.

Through this lineage, the Yale was passed down to Queen Elizabeth II, where it is considered one of the royal guardian beasts.

Today, Yale remains a symbol of scholarship and tradition, and can be seen in the architectural decoration of educational institutions such as Yale University, Christ's College at Cambridge University, and St. John's College at Cambridge University.

Obverse Design

The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the face value of "5 POUNDS."

As an official sovereign silver coin guaranteed by the British government, it is highly reliable.

Reverse Design: Yale with Accented Horns

The reverse depicts a majestic Yale with his distinctive horns spread wide.

The design was created by Royal Mint coin designer **Jody Clark**,
and the strength of his horns and the tautness of his body are expressed in the deep relief unique to the 2-ounce size.

The metal weight, purity, and year of issue are clearly marked around the outside, clearly indicating its practicality as a bullion silver coin.

The Royal Mint

This silver coin was minted by The Royal Mint, a company with over a thousand years of history.

As an official sovereign silver coin backed by the nation's credit, it enjoys high liquidity and credibility in the international bullion market.

Valued for its silver, not for speculation.

At GoldSilverJapan, we value the Queen's Beasts silver coin as a physical silver asset, not an investment product seeking short-term value appreciation.

As such, we place the focus of our evaluation on its pure silver content and liquidity, rather than its ranking within the series or popularity.
