This is a really lovely coin, nice detail and even the Queen doesn't look that bad, probably because it's not that easy to see her. This Queen's Beasts series also comes in a quarter-ounce gold coin and a two ounce silver coin, and both of those much less expensive items come from the British Royal Mint in hard plastic capsules. This one ounce gold coin does not. Shame on the Royal Mint for going on the cheap for packaging this magnificent coin.

After seeing the promotion for this coin I just had to have it, After receiving the coin the pictures do not do it justice. The detail and fine sculpting of the coin far exceed the picture. I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of the 2 oz version in silver. If these coins are a first release in an annual series they will probably become my favorite collectible series ever!
