The first design in the series was the famous Lion of England, a creature that debuted in the Proof Series in 2017.

The coins of the Queen’s Beast Series came with limited options in the BU collection, offering just five weights in total. Those weights consisted of two gold coins, two silver coins, and a single platinum coin. The Proof Queen’s Beast Series offered a little more variety with five weights available in the silver series alone. The first Proof Queen’s Beast issued came with a 2017 date mark and featured the Lion of England design that debuted in 2016 in the BU Series.

All of these 2017 5 oz Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Lion Coins are available to you for purchase as GEM Proof specimens. These coins have frosted design elements and mirrored fields, and the GEM Proof designation indicates coins that have a greater visual quality than the typical proof struck by the Royal Mint.

On the obverse of 2017 Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Lion Coins, you will find a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is featured here in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This fifth-generation bust of the Queen debuted in 2016 and shows the Queen at the age of 89.

The reverse field of the 2017 5 oz Proof Silver Queen’s Beast Lion Coin comes with a depiction of the first official coat of arms of England. Developed by King Richard I in 1198, the seal used Three Lions on a shield. The Lion of England shown here is based on those lions. The crowned beast supports the modern shield from the Royal Arms of England, a symbol that includes the individual coats of arms from England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
