The Queens Beasts 2nd Series

[Midasfrog]

Some Royal Mint whispers are coming from the coin collecting community that there is a second Queens Beasts series in the pipeline .

Has anyone else picked up on the rumors ? 🧐

[fehk2001]

maybe they will use the original design and put a privy on, here u go thats qb2

[Midasfrog]

Or keeping the same beasts designs but changing the background fields obverse and reverse. 

[FoolzGold]

It was a good series with some outstanding designs and so ho-hum ones. Re-hashing it would be a real shame, and very unlikely to be as successful as the first series.

Surely they can come up with some new ideas?

[Midasfrog]

Maybe matt finish with a plain edge ? or even more likely same designs plus micro writing and beast hologram as per the new Britannia 👍

[dicker]

No I have not.  The RM in my opinion should innovate and create new designs.  
 

I am unlikely to buy a second d series of QB’s

[kimchi]

I heard the same rumour so very likely from the same source, and that they will be 50ps.

[fehk2001]

i think the real problem with royal mint is that, when they see the coins is doing good in secondary market, they will flood the market with A LOT more mintage , sometimes with new design, the end result is not many people it because they will lose money or less collectiable 

[Connor]

I wish they'd calm down I'm still trying to collect a full set of the first 2oz ones 🤣🤣

[ChrisF]

If their is money to be made the will squeeze every penny they can out of it.

They should just leave it as it is, by the 10th coin of the second series it'd be like flogging a dead horse. 

There must be so many talented artists in the Royal Mint they should be able to come up with a quality idea for a new series.

More like flogging a dead monarch!

Thats if the Queen would survive a second series. It would take her past her 100th birthday

The Queen Mother didn't do too badly on that score!

I think I'd prefer to see a bullion range of the Great Engravers series once it's complete, if they want to go down the route of re-hashing pre-existing coin series.

"When Her Majesty The Queen was crowned on 2 June 1953, ten statues were created to form a guard of honour at the entrance to Westminster Abbey."

...so where would beasts #11, #12, #13, etc. come from?

It'd be the same 10 beasts but done all over again, just like Perth mints Lunar series 1, 2, 3 … million.

 

[StackemHigh]

Lunar series has been done many times with the same subject matter many times before and with many countries and mints presently running series. 

This shows that a reamagined series 2 of the queens beasts could happen. 

The only differences are the lunar cycle means we are always in a year of the ????? and will buyers, flippers and collectors have the stomach for another 10 coin series from the royal mint! 

[Augustus1]

well if it happens i for one wil not be collecting again , “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”😋

The next series could be the King’s Beasts after the coronation of Charles (or William, if Charles dies before the Queen).

 In Charles’s case I think we would have the King’s Plants though.

Between two ferns.

I sincerely hope Royal Mint aren't that cynical. 

[stackingsi]

any logical estimates as to when they would be releasing the next series of coins?? 

[Midasfrog]

Like @kimchi says it will more than likely be a series of beasts on the 50ps its been done on every other size coin except the 10p 5p 2p &1p 😂

The 50p Beasts will give the Mint plenty of scope for variations in BU and proofs , in every type of metal you can think of 🙈

[Metalisreal]

Any chance of a Prime Minister series? Obviously, like the US President dollar coins, those who are still alive probably wouldn't be included. 

[Coolsmp]

They definitely would need to be dead. Can you imagine a Boris coin!!! 🥴
