New releases from Britain’s Royal Mint
Marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, honouring the Coat of Arms of King Charles III and celebrating literary icons Mary Poppins & Harry Potter, we have a raft of new British legal tender releases from the Royal Mint.
Auspicious Beasts Silver 5oz!
Struck from a whopping 5oz of 99.9% pure silver, and sure to command the attention of collectors right around the world, we are delighted to present this breathtaking tribute to the Four Auspicious Beasts!
Known as the Four Symbols, the Four Guardians, and the Four Gods, the Four Auspicious Beasts include the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North. Custodians of the Four Cardinal Directions – the main points on the compass – the Four Auspicious Beasts are key figures in Chinese Astrology. United in one stunning piece of numismatic artistry, the fullcolour portrayal of the Four Auspicious Beasts dominates the 65mm flan of this massive 5oz Silver Proof.
With the Four Auspicious Beasts of enormous cultural significance across Asia and beyond, there is no doubt that this collectable colossus will spark great interest worldwide. And with the mintage restricted to a surprisingly low 388 coins – each set in a lavish timber case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity – a swift sell-out is expected.
