Description
The 2017 Griffin of Edward is part of the Queen’s Beasts series produced by the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom. The series celebrates the heraldic beasts that stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, each representing a significant aspect of British royal history and heraldry. The Griffin of Edward is one of these fantastical creatures, and the 1 oz gold coin released in 2017 is a stunning tribute to both British mythology and the artistry of the Royal Mint.
This coin is made up of .999 fine gold and weighs 1oz (31.1g). This coin has a face value of £100 and is exempt from capital gains tax.
