Buy Tudor Beasts Coins Online
Our catalog of tudor beasts coins features silver bullion pieces struck by The Royal Mint of Great Britain, spanning multiple years and weight formats that appeal to both bullion buyers and collectors drawn to historically themed coinage. You'll find 2 oz silver coins issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024, alongside a substantial 10 oz silver coin from 2023, all struck to .9999 fine silver purity in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin in the series draws its design from the heraldic beasts that have defined British royal symbolism for centuries, with individual releases dedicated to figures like the Lion of England, the Yale of Beaufort, and the Unicorn.
Bullion Standard sources these coins directly through reputable wholesale channels and distributor networks, giving buyers access to authentic Royal Mint products with full confidence in origin and condition. Our marketplace is structured around transparent pricing and a two-way market model, so whether you're acquiring a 2 oz coin for its silver content or adding a 10 oz piece to a more serious holding, you can evaluate both the purchase price and the resale picture clearly before committing.
The combination of recognized mintage, high purity, and distinctive design makes these coins a coherent and well-defined segment of the broader British silver bullion market. Product availability across multiple years and sizes allows buyers to select based on budget, weight preference, or specific design interest within the series.
What Are Tudor Beasts Coins?
Tudor beasts coins are a series of silver bullion coins issued by The Royal Mint under the official Tudor Beasts program, drawing on the ten heraldic creatures that once flanked the gatehouse of Hampton Court Palace during the reign of Henry VIII. Each coin in the series features a distinct beast rendered in high-relief sculptural detail, giving the program a strong collector dimension that sits alongside its bullion function. The designs are rooted in genuine British heraldic tradition rather than modern artistic invention, which distinguishes the series from many contemporary commemorative programs.
Unlike general silver bullion coins struck in standard formats, tudor beasts coins carry thematic continuity across their releases, with each new coin building on the broader narrative of the series. The 2 oz weight is the primary bullion denomination, offering a balance between silver content and premium, while the 10 oz format provides greater metal content per coin and appeals to buyers prioritizing silver weight over denomination portability. Both formats carry legal tender status as issued coins of Great Britain.
Buyers are typically drawn to these coins for a combination of reasons: the credibility of The Royal Mint as one of the world's most established sovereign mints, the visual distinction of the heraldic designs, and the practical appeal of .9999 fine silver in a recognizable format. The series occupies a space between pure bullion and numismatic coinage, which tends to attract buyers who want their silver holdings to carry more than just metal content.
History and Background
The Royal Mint has operated continuously for over 1,100 years, making it one of the oldest and most respected sovereign minting institutions in the world. Its modern bullion programs, including the Tudor Beasts series, build on a centuries-long tradition of producing coinage for Great Britain and a wide range of international clients. The mint relocated from Tower Hill in London to its current facility in Llantrisant, Wales in the early 1970s, and today produces coins, blanks, and medals distributed globally.
The Tudor Beasts program was introduced as a multi-release silver bullion series structured around the ten heraldic creatures associated with the Tudor dynasty. The Lion of England was issued first in 2022, establishing the design language and format for the coins that followed. The Yale of Beaufort followed in 2023, and the Unicorn was introduced in 2024, with the program expected to continue through additional heraldic subjects. This release structure is intentional, building collector interest over time while maintaining consistent bullion specifications across the series.
Within the modern bullion market, The Royal Mint has positioned the Tudor Beasts program alongside its other flagship series, including the Britannia and the Queen's Beasts, both of which established strong secondary market presence before their respective conclusions. The Tudor Beasts series benefits from the institutional credibility and distribution infrastructure that comes with Royal Mint origin, giving these coins broad recognition across dealer networks and bullion markets worldwide.
Purity, Weight, and Specifications
All tudor beasts coins in our catalog are struck to a purity of .9999 fine silver, placing them among the highest purity standards currently produced for silver bullion coinage. This four-nines purity is consistent across all weights and years within the series, and it exceeds the .999 fine standard found in many other sovereign silver programs. The purity is struck into the coin itself and is guaranteed by The Royal Mint under its sovereign mintage authority.
The standard format in the series is the 2 oz silver coin, with a diameter of 38.61 mm, making it physically larger than a standard 1 oz silver coin and giving the high-relief designs more surface area to resolve clearly. The 10 oz silver coin expands the format substantially, with a diameter of 89.15 mm and a thickness of 6 mm on the 2 oz variant, producing a coin with significant physical presence. Both formats are denominated in British pounds sterling, with the 2 oz coins carrying a face value of 5 pounds and the 10 oz coin carrying a face value of 10 pounds.
Coins are packaged in inner tubes of 10 for the 2 oz format, with outer case quantities of 200 coins. The 10 oz format ships in outer quantities of 15 coins. These packaging standards align with typical Royal Mint bullion distribution conventions and are relevant for buyers purchasing at tube or case quantities, where per-coin premiums can be more efficiently structured.
Available Brands, Mints, and Product Variations
Every tudor beasts coin in our catalog is produced exclusively by The Royal Mint, the sovereign mint of Great Britain. The Royal Mint holds a position among the most recognized and respected bullion-producing institutions globally, and its coins are accepted without question by dealers, refiners, and bullion markets throughout the world. This single-source mintage is a meaningful factor in the series' market consistency, as all coins share the same quality standards, authentication features, and distribution infrastructure regardless of the year or subject.
Three distinct heraldic subjects are currently represented across our catalog. The Lion of England, issued in 2022 in the 2 oz format, was the inaugural coin of the series. The Yale of Beaufort followed in 2023 and is available in both the 2 oz and 10 oz formats, giving buyers flexibility in how much silver content they want to hold in a single coin. The Unicorn, released in 2024, continues the series in the 2 oz format. Each design is specific to its release year, meaning no two coins within the series share a reverse design, which adds a layer of distinction for buyers interested in the full series.
All coins are offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, struck on polished blanks with full mint luster and sharp design definition. This is the standard production grade for Royal Mint bullion coins and represents coins that have not been placed into circulation. Buyers looking for Proof-grade or special presentation versions of these coins should note that our current catalog reflects BU bullion editions only.
Pricing, Premiums, and Market Factors
Tudor beasts coin pricing is derived from the live silver spot price, with a premium applied above spot to account for minting costs, distribution, packaging, and the coin's overall market position. The Royal Mint's production standards and the series' collector appeal both contribute to a premium profile that typically sits above generic silver rounds or privately minted silver bars, but remains within the range expected for sovereign-issued bullion coinage from a major mint.
The 10 oz format generally carries a lower per-ounce premium than the 2 oz coins, as is common across most silver bullion products where larger sizes distribute fixed costs across more metal content. The 2 oz coins, while priced at a somewhat higher per-ounce premium, benefit from greater individual liquidity and broader dealer recognition, which affects how easily they move in the secondary market. Buying at tube quantities can reduce per-coin premiums relative to single-coin purchases.
Bullion Standard prices these coins in real time, with our displayed prices reflecting current wholesale market conditions rather than static retail markups. Our bid and ask prices are shown directly on each product page, giving buyers a transparent view of both acquisition cost and expected resale pricing before a purchase is made. This structure reflects our commitment to pricing clarity and is designed to help buyers understand the full cost of ownership rather than focusing solely on the purchase price in isolation.
Condition, Packaging, and What to Expect
Tudor beasts coins sold through Bullion Standard arrive in Brilliant Uncirculated condition as issued by The Royal Mint. BU coins are struck for bullion purposes rather than display presentation, so they are not individually encapsulated or housed in velvet boxes unless specified. Minor contact marks or handling imperfections consistent with tube storage and transit are considered normal for BU bullion coinage and do not represent defects or deviations from standard.
The 2 oz coins are typically shipped in sealed tubes of 10, which protect the coins during transit and help maintain their condition. The 10 oz coins, given their size and weight, are packaged individually or in smaller grouped configurations suitable for safe transit. Buyers purchasing single coins may receive them removed from the original tube, though we take care to ensure all coins are handled appropriately throughout the fulfillment process.
All orders from Bullion Standard are shipped in secure, discreet packaging designed to protect both the contents and the privacy of the shipment. Insurance and tracking are standard components of our fulfillment process, reflecting our commitment to secure delivery from purchase through receipt.
Authenticity and Verification
Every tudor beasts coin in our catalog originates directly from The Royal Mint through verified wholesale and distributor channels. The Royal Mint incorporates a range of anti-counterfeiting and authentication measures into its bullion coinage, including precise die work, edge lettering, and design detail standards that are extremely difficult to replicate outside of a controlled mint environment. These built-in characteristics serve as the primary basis for field authentication by experienced dealers and collectors.
Bullion Standard verifies the authenticity, weight, and purity of every product before it reaches our customers. Our sourcing relationships are maintained with reputable mints, refineries, wholesalers, and distributors, and we do not carry products of uncertain origin. As an authorized dealer for PCGS and NGC, we also have access to professional grading and certification services for buyers who wish to have specific coins encapsulated and independently verified after purchase.
For buyers with additional authentication concerns, third-party verification through PCGS or NGC provides a secondary layer of assurance through encapsulation and grading. Certified coins are assigned a grade, sealed in a tamper-evident holder, and registered in the certification service's online database, creating a verifiable record of the coin's authenticity and condition that follows it through future transactions.
Liquidity and Resale Considerations
Tudor beasts coins benefit from strong market recognition as Royal Mint products, which is the most significant factor influencing their resale liquidity. Coins produced by major sovereign mints are accepted by dealers, bullion buyers, and coin exchanges worldwide without the skepticism that can accompany privately minted or less familiar products. The Royal Mint's global distribution and institutional reputation mean that these coins are well understood by the secondary market.
The 2 oz format is the more liquid of the two sizes due to its lower per-unit cost and wider buyer base. The 10 oz coin carries more metal content per piece, which narrows the pool of secondary market buyers somewhat, though it remains well within the range of recognized tradeable bullion formats. Condition and original packaging, while not always required for resale, can support pricing in dealer buyback and private transaction contexts.
Understanding liquidity before acquiring a product is part of making informed purchasing decisions. Our product pages display both bid and ask pricing in real time, which allows buyers to assess not just what they'll pay to acquire a coin, but what the current market would offer if they decided to sell. This transparency reflects our view that the full transaction picture matters more than the entry price alone.
Storage and Security
Silver bullion coins require protection from moisture, humidity, and physical contact to maintain their condition over time. Tudor beasts coins, struck on high-purity silver blanks, are particularly susceptible to toning and surface changes if exposed to air and humidity for extended periods. Storing coins in their original tubes or in airtight capsules is a straightforward way to reduce environmental exposure and preserve their appearance.
For home storage, a quality fireproof safe rated for both fire and water resistance provides a solid baseline of security for modest holdings. Those holding larger quantities of silver by weight may find that the cost and logistics of home storage justify the use of a third-party vault service or bank safe deposit box, which offer more robust physical security and may include insurance coverage depending on the facility.
The 10 oz coins, given their size and individual value, are worth storing with particular attention to physical protection, as their larger surface area makes them more susceptible to contact damage than smaller denominations. Individual coin capsules designed for the 89.15 mm diameter of the 10 oz format are available through numismatic supply retailers and are worth considering for long-term storage.
Selling and Buyback Options
Selling tudor beasts coins back into the market follows the same general process as other recognized silver bullion coinage. Dealer buyback programs, including Bullion Standard's own purchasing operation, price coins based on current silver spot, the specific product's wholesale bid level, condition, and packaging integrity. Royal Mint coins in original tube packaging tend to receive cleaner buyback quotes than coins presented loose or with visible condition concerns, though the underlying silver content remains the primary pricing driver.
Bullion Standard operates a two-way market, meaning we actively purchase the same products we sell. Our buyback pricing is derived from live executable wholesale market data rather than arbitrary dealer markups, which means the prices we quote reflect real-time market conditions on the sell side just as our ask prices do on the buy side. This symmetry is central to how we believe a transparent bullion marketplace should operate.
Customers looking to sell can initiate the process through our platform, where current bid pricing is displayed for relevant products. Our purchasing team handles the verification and settlement process with straightforward communication and timely payment. Understanding the bid side of the market before purchasing, rather than only when it's time to sell, is something we actively encourage through the pricing tools and market data available on our platform.
Why Buy Tudor Beasts Coins?
The Tudor Beasts program occupies a distinct position within the sovereign silver bullion market by combining the credibility of Royal Mint production with designs that carry genuine historical and heraldic depth. For buyers who want silver content paired with strong visual character, these coins deliver both without moving entirely into the numismatic territory where premiums can become difficult to recover in the secondary market. The series structure, with individual heraldic subjects released across multiple years, also gives buyers a natural framework for building a coherent holding over time.
The 2 oz format is practical for buyers who prefer individual coins at a manageable price point per unit, while the 10 oz coin provides a more efficient premium structure for those prioritizing metal content per transaction. Both formats come with the backing of The Royal Mint's authenticity standards and global market recognition, which simplifies resale regardless of where or when a buyer decides to exit their position.
For buyers drawn specifically to British sovereign coinage, the Tudor Beasts series represents a current program from the world's oldest active mint, with new releases still being issued. That ongoing production cycle means the market for these coins remains active, with fresh buyer interest entering with each new heraldic subject released.
