    Good size and good design. Gold 1/4 will be winner if premium is good

    Hi Guys,

    I Germany we have been aware of that coin for a while already. That is why I could spent some time with investigation about this new coin series.
    Here my short summary: The Lion of England is no. 1 out of ten. All coins are capsuled so no need for an extra purchase:
    "Both the silver and the 1 / 4 oz gold coins will be released in a capsule also. I believe that there is no mintage limit on these coins, and unfortunately, at this time I have no further details as to when the next coin will be released.
    If you have any further questions, you may be better contacting [email protected] as they would have more detailed information available to assist."


    And the release date of the 1/4oz gold coin and 2oz silveer coin will be the week following Easter. All coins are bullion coins and no mintage limit is applying.
    I got the most infos about it directly from Royal Mint UK, some be my own investigation.
    1oz gold:

    2oz silver and 1/4oz gold:

    and silver (content following after Easter):

    and in general:

    In USA Wholesaledirectmetals.com in exclusive distributor (but they are selling in large quantities only):

    And here the specs: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2478338

    Hope you enjoy the summary. ;)

    38.6mm diameter for the 2oz coin, that's gonna be chunky! (edit: same diameter as the 1oz Britannias). Can't wait to get a few in-hand :) That design really pops.

    Pricing for the 1oz gold coin seems sharp enough so I hope the silver is affordable too.

    Depends what your understanding as affordable for a 2oz bullion coin in capsule is:
    Wholesalesdirectmetals.com in USA want to have 44 USD but with minimum quantity of 4,000 coins:
    http://thesilverforum.com/topic/5229-1oz-queens-beast-lion/?page=3
    while a German dealer (an UK representative of coininvest) asking for about 62,40 Euro (recently about 92 AUD (including local VAT 19% but excluding shipping):
    https://www.coininvest.com/de/silbermuenzen/queens-beasts/2-oz-queen-s-beasts-silber-2016/
    Whait until beginnig of week after Easter to see what RM is asking for it:

    Reasonable price compared with the cheapest German dealer prices.
    And if you can pay in USA without PP, CC etc. it is by far cheaper (savings of about another 40 Euro which equals gold spot in Euro!)

    That's definitely not my idea of affordable for any coin, especially an unlimited mintage bullion coin :( USD44 might be OK for singles but I don't have a lazy 176k to throw down for 4000.

    I'm erasing the memory of reading those numbers, will wait and see what Aussie retail is.

    I am sure that (as in Germany) dealers will import directly from RM to avoid mass quotations as requested from Wholesalsedirectmetals.com
    Stay a bit patient an even some local dealers will offer the 2oz silver and the 1/4 gold bullion coin soon. I am confident in that.

    Unlimited mintage, got a year to buy.
    But UK stuffs' prices are never comparable to common bullions like Eagles.

    so that's about a 50% premium to spot for non-UK buyers ...drops to ~38% if one buys 50 or more coins

    Somethings are too cool too pass up. I feel I'm the number 1 fan off these. Ordered the2 ounce silver pieces, looking for deals on the 1/4 ounce gold ones?
