It would be nice to have a 10 or 20oz round with all the queens beasts on

Thank you for finding this!

While this sounds like a very nice coin, I really do wish that they didn’t do this, or at least waited a bit. 

My initial reaction is that it lessens my opinion of this series, which is by far my favorite. Especially if it’s in all sizes and styles of the other releases, it creates confusion as to whether this is a 10 coin or 11 coin series.

What do others think about this?

Any excuse for the RM to make more money.

Surprised they haven't done one for fluvid/covid. Plenty of opportunity for a continuous series until the 2030 Agenda is complete.

- Masks / Social Distance / Groups of 6s / Do this, Don't do that / Debts / Sheep / Tinfoil hats / Furlough / Vaccinations / Deaths in Care Homes / Deaths by vaccinations  

I could go on. 

Opportunity missed. 🤪

Thanks @h103efa.

 

I'm also conflicted about milking this series, but assuming the 1oz Gold and Platinum coins are also bullion (they seem to be) alongside the 10 oz Silver version of the ten Queen's Beasts, then that's 3 more coins added to the wish list!

It's only money 😁

I'd have to agree with the general consensus that this is just the start of the Royal Mint milking the series.

It seems inevitable that queens beast series two will come out in a few years, even if the designs are miles better than the first series people will still suffer from coin release fatigue.

Maybe a queens beast matching tie and blazer badge set will be next, just like Alan Partridges 😀

As cool as the “all 10 beasts together” design sounds in theory, how much detail of each beast could you possibly see on a tiny coin?
