PCGS 2017 1oz Gold Queen's Beast 'Griffin' MS69

PCGS 2017 1oz Gold Queen’s Beast ‘Griffin’ – MS69

The 2017 Griffin of Edward III is the second issue in The Royal Mint’s acclaimed Queen’s Beasts series, celebrating the ten heraldic creatures that symbolise centuries of royal heritage. Inspired by the sculptures present at Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation, each coin embodies power, tradition, and artistry.

Struck from one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, the reverse features Jody Clark’s striking interpretation of the Griffin, a legendary guardian combining the strength of the lion and the vigilance of the eagle. The creature is shown standing proudly with a shield bearing Edward III’s royal badge.

This example has been certified MS69 by PCGS, denoting an almost flawless strike with superb detail and eye appeal, placing it among the highest-quality specimens of this release.

The obverse presents Jody Clark’s fifth definitive portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, bringing a regal balance to the design.

As part of the sought-after Queen’s Beasts series, the 2017 Gold Griffin holds significant appeal for both investors and numismatic collectors, offering a combination of rarity, historical symbolism, and near-perfect condition.
