History and Background

The Queen's Beasts series was launched by The Royal Mint in 2016, drawing on the tradition of the ten stone statues that stood at Westminster Abbey during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Each release in the series honored one of those ten heraldic creatures, with the Yale of Beaufort appearing as the ninth coin in the program. The Yale, a mythological creature depicted with the ability to swivel its horns independently, was associated with the Beaufort family and represented strength and adaptability.

The Royal Mint has operated continuously for over 1,100 years, making it one of the oldest and most storied minting institutions in the world. Its bullion programs carry considerable credibility in global markets, and the Queen's Beasts series became one of the most popular collector-driven silver programs of the past decade. By 2019, demand for the series had grown significantly, with earlier releases trading at premiums well above their initial issue prices on the secondary market.

Design and Aesthetics

The reverse of this coin features a bold depiction of the Yale of Beaufort, shown standing proudly and holding the shield of Lady Margaret Beaufort. The design was executed by artist Jody Clark and carries the same level of sculptural detail that defines the Queen's Beasts series throughout. The creature's distinctive horns, textured coat, and heraldic posture are rendered with sharp relief against a clean background field.

The obverse features Jody Clark's definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced across Royal Mint coinage in 2015. Her Majesty is shown in right-facing profile wearing the George IV State Diadem, with surrounding inscriptions confirming the issuing authority, face value, and regnal designation. The coin's Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives both the obverse and reverse a polished, pristine appearance that highlights the depth of the engraving throughout.

Authenticity and Product Integrity

Each coin is struck by The Royal Mint to a confirmed purity of .9999 fine silver and a weight of 2 troy oz, meeting the minting standards expected from one of the world's most established sovereign mints. The Royal Mint's quality control processes are among the most rigorous in the industry, and coins from this series are widely recognized and accepted in major bullion markets globally.

We verify authenticity, weight, and purity on the products we handle, and we maintain authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC. For collectors who want a formally graded example of this coin, we can facilitate that process through those relationships. Raw Brilliant Uncirculated examples like this one arrive directly from The Royal Mint's distribution network with no modification to the coin's surface or packaging.

Condition and Packaging

Brilliant Uncirculated denotes a coin that has never entered circulation and retains full mint luster with no wear to its surfaces. For the Yale of Beaufort 2 oz silver coin, this grade reflects the high-relief design at its sharpest and the struck finish at its most vivid. BU coins may show minor contact marks from the minting and handling process, which is consistent with the grade and does not affect the coin's metal content or recognized market value.

Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to prevent surface contact during transit. The standard tube configuration for this coin holds ten pieces, and full box quantities are packaged in sealed Royal Mint outer packaging. If you are unsure of the packaging format for your order quantity, our team can clarify expectations before your purchase is completed.

Pricing and Market Factors

Pricing for this coin is tied directly to the current spot price of silver, with a premium applied above that baseline. The premium reflects several converging factors: the .9999 fine purity, the 2 oz format, the Royal Mint's global reputation, and the collector demand that the Queen's Beasts series consistently attracts. Larger format silver coins from well-regarded sovereign mints tend to carry tighter percentage premiums per ounce relative to smaller fractional pieces, though demand-driven premiums for popular series coins can shift that balance.

Our pricing is updated in real time to reflect current market conditions, giving you a transparent view of what you are paying and why. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product pages reflects the complete transaction picture rather than just the purchase price, which is how we believe pricing should be presented.

Selling and Liquidity

The Queen's Beasts series enjoys strong name recognition among silver buyers worldwide, and the Yale of Beaufort is no exception. Coins from this series trade actively on both primary and secondary markets, supported by the Royal Mint's global standing and the series' documented collector base. The .9999 fine purity and government-backed issuance contribute to the coin's acceptance across dealer networks and private sale channels alike.

We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Competitive buyback pricing is available for recognized silver coins like this one, and we encourage buyers to consider liquidity as part of the purchase decision rather than an afterthought. Understanding resale conditions before buying leads to more informed decisions on both ends of the transaction.

Why Buy the 2019 Queen's Beasts Yale of Beaufort 2 oz Silver Coin?

The Yale of Beaufort occupies a meaningful position within the Queen's Beasts series as one of its final releases, and it benefits from the series' established collector demand while offering the substantive silver content of the 2 oz format. For buyers who want more silver per coin without scaling up to a 10 oz or kilo piece, the 2 oz size provides a practical middle ground.

The combination of .9999 fine silver, Royal Mint craftsmanship, Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and strong series recognition makes this a compelling option for buyers who value both the metal content and the numismatic character of what they hold. It is a finished, well-designed coin from one of the world's most credible sovereign mints rather than a generic bullion piece.
