One of our most popular series has come to an end - we present the last two coins of the Queen's Burning Beasts series. 

Buring Queen's Beasts series

On the occasion of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain in 1953, ten majestic beasts were placed at the entrance to Westminster Abbey, which still guard the gates to the famous Anglican temple. Each of the beasts is a statue about 1.8 meters high, symbolizing the historical legacy of the dynasty of one of the families or places associated with the Windsor dynasty.

5£ Burning Greyhound of Richmond and Completer Coin

The coins have been clad, which is the most exclusive method of coin refinement. The obverse and reverse was covered with black ruthenium, a rare transition metal that became a perfect backdrop for the Greyhound and Completer. The Greyhound and Completer itself has been decorated with 24-carat gold, thanks to which it shimmers even more spectacularly and flaunts its majesty.

Thanks to the combination of ruthenium and gold, the coins gains in value and looks truly unique. Dark ruthenian brings out the splendor, and gold exposes the richness of the techniques used. This resulted in a unique, contrasting effect which harmonizes with each other. The intricate work makes the coin an exceptional masterpiece of mint art. The mintage is limited to only 200 pieces.

The Completer is the final coin that features images of all the beasts that have appeared in the series.
