Varieties of Queens Beasts

[Charliemouse]

How many different sizes / metals / types of Queens Beasts are there?  I don't mean designs - there are 10 of them plus the Completer.  I mean 1oz silver, 2oz silver, etc.

This is my current list, but every week or two it seems I find a new one.

• Silver 1/4oz reverse proof
• Silver 1/4oz proof
• Silver 1oz  proof
• Silver 2oz  proof
• Silver 2oz bullion
• Silver 5oz proof
• Silver 10oz proof (5oz piedfort)
• Silver 10oz bullion
• Silver 1kg proof
• Silver 1kg bullion (completer)
• Silver 2kg proof (completer)
• Gold 1/4oz proof
• Gold 1/4oz reverse proof
• Gold 1/4oz bullion
• Gold 1oz bullion
• Gold 1oz proof
• Gold 5oz proof
• Gold 1kg proof
• Gold 2kg proof (completer)
• Gold 5kg proof (completer)
• Gold 10kg proof (completer)
• Platinum 1/4oz bullion
• Platinum 1oz bullion

What am I missing?

I apologise if there is some online reference with this list, but I've looked and can't find it.

There was also the 10 kilo gold completer, which at the time was the largest they'd ever made.

There were also 1kg and 2kg gold proof completers.

And the 1 kilo silver bullion completer.

Had no idea there were 1/4oz platinum ones!

Yes, I have one!  D'oh!

[Charliemouse]

Thanks to everyone.  I've edited the list.

I am not sure where I read about the 1/4oz platinums, but I can't find it now.

I don't think they did make 1/4 oz platinums - certainly I've never seen them in bullion.  @Pete might know definitively?

Edit: @Charliemouse I think you still need to add the 1kg silver bullion completer to your list, as @paulmerton has pointed out above.

My favourites are the 1 oz gold bullion and the 10 oz silver bullion (I only have this one in the completer, but I imagine that a full 10 oz silver bullion set would be utterly spectacular as a display of 11 coins).

No 1/4 oz platinum as far as I can remember.

[Charliemouse]

@Stuntman Like this?

Spectacular indeed!

@Charliemouse - were the 1/4 reverse proof coins actually in silver, rather than gold as per your list?  I don't have any reverse proofs, but I thought they were only in silver.

I own 1/4 reverse proof silvers, which somehow I missed from my list.  I don't know whether 1/4 (not reverse) proofs exist; suspect not.

And I own both 1/4 proof and reverse proof gold.

^^^ Awesome.  You have some great items there.

I have done a quick count-up of what I own in this series, I only have bullion:

10 x 1/4 oz gold bullion plus 1 spare Greyhound

11 x 1 oz gold bullion plus 3 spares - Dragon, Bull, Greyhound

1 x 10 oz silver bullion completer

1 x 1 kg silver bullion completer

4 x 1 oz platinum bullion - Lion, Dragon, Unicorn, Completer

so that makes 30 coins and quite a chunk of my total stack/collection by value!

My favourite designs are the Lion, the Dragon and the Completer.

Nowhere near what @BackyardBullion has in that video though!

If you were ever interested in selling that spare dragon, I would be interested!

Yes, they are favourites, along with the Falcon and Griffin - the feathers are gorgeous.

I've just scared myself with the maths.  I have 56 different coins, and duplicates of a lot of them too.

Ouch!
