PCGS 2017 1oz Gold Queen's Beast 'Griffin' MS70

PCGS 2017 1oz Gold Queen’s Beast ‘Griffin’ – MS70

The Griffin of Edward III, released in 2017, is the second coin in The Royal Mint’s celebrated Queen’s Beasts series. This iconic collection draws inspiration from the ten heraldic statues that guarded Westminster Abbey at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The Griffin, a mythical hybrid of lion and eagle, symbolises courage, vigilance, and guardianship.

Struck from one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, the reverse showcases Jody Clark’s bold interpretation of the Griffin clutching a shield that carries Edward III’s royal badge. The design reflects both strength and protection, making it a powerful addition to the heraldic series.

This coin has been graded MS70 by PCGS, the highest grade possible, confirming its flawless strike, immaculate surfaces, and outstanding eye appeal. Only a limited number of coins achieve this perfect certification, adding further prestige to an already coveted release.

The obverse features Jody Clark’s fifth official portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, completing the coin’s striking design.

The 2017 Gold Griffin MS70 is not only a key issue within the Queen’s Beasts series but also one of the finest examples available, making it highly desirable to both collectors and investors alike.
