Queens Beasts series

[gkoogk]

Hi guys

As I understand it the Queens Beasts series for 2016 will be a 2oz silver coin and a 1oz gold coin with a 1/4 oz gold coin too

Will it be the same 3 weights each year and if so where could I  find a 3 coin case to fit them in..could be like series 1..series 2  etc each year

Those are nice coins, the Silver ones are tempting.

I have a question.

What will happen to this series if our beloved Sovereign was to pass away in the middle of this series.

If they are going to mint one beast per year for the next 9 years it could be touch and go whether she makes it 100 years old.

Will they continue the Queens Beasts series with old jug ears on the obverse?

The Queen's Beasts were present for the coronation.  So they will be her beast's no matter who is on the obverse.

There's nothing to stop them carrying the series on.

I would just find it strange as the Queens Beasts are specific to the Queen.

I think every series might seem a bit odd with a monarch change on the obverse part of the way through.

Any law against minting a coin with a dead monarch on?

No more coins can be minted if the monarch has died.

They will change to the new monarch.
