Buy British Silver Coins – 89 Products from the Royal Mint's Greatest Programmes
The United Kingdom produces 89 silver products at CelticGold – the second-largest silver country range after Australia – from the Royal Mint, one of the world's oldest continuously operating minting institutions (founded 886 AD). British silver spans four major programmes covering the full spectrum from mass-market investment bullion to limited-edition heraldic collector pieces of extraordinary artistry.
Four Programmes, One Royal Mint
The Silver Britannia – 19 products – is the UK's investment-grade silver standard, with 999/1,000 fineness since 2013, annual design changes from 2021, and the tincture-line security feature that makes it the most counterfeit-resistant mainstream silver coin available.
The Queen's Beasts – 22 products – is a complete, permanently closed 10-coin series in 2 oz format, depicting the ten heraldic animals flanking Westminster Abbey at the 1953 coronation. The last issue (Red Dragon of Wales, 2022) has been struck; no further Queen's Beasts will be minted.
The Royal Tudor Beasts – 20 products – is the current successor to Queen's Beasts in the same 2 oz format, featuring Tudor dynasty heraldry. Still available at issue prices – the optimal time to enter a Royal Mint heraldic series.
The Myths and Legends – 14 products – features Arthurian legends and other British mythological figures in high-relief limited-edition silver.
Queen's Beasts is closed – should I buy now? Yes – as a permanently closed series with fixed supply and growing collector demand, prices trend upward over time. Complete 10-coin sets in the same denomination carry the strongest premiums. Royal Tudor Beasts: buy early or wait? Queen's Beasts experience shows: early-issue coins at issue price become the most valuable once the series closes. Buy Tudor Beasts now.
