With an unparalleled commitment to accuracy, consistency and integrity, the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) is one of the most trusted third-party grading service for coins, tokens and medals. Since 1987, NGC has graded more than 45 million coins, each one backed by the industry-leading NGC Guarantee.

NGC uses the internationally accepted Sheldon grading scale of 1 to 70, which was first used in the United States in the late 1940s. This scale was adopted by NGC when it began operations in 1987, and is considered to be the industry standard. The above coin is graded in the strike type Mint State (MS), which applies to coins struck in the same format as circulation issues, and is graded between 60 - 70.

A new investment opportunity in the range, this ten-ounce silver bullion coin is the latest addition to The Queen’s Beasts Collection. Inspired by the ancient art of heraldry, the range brings to life the ten imposing statues that lined the entrance to Westminster Abbey in 1953 at the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen.

The unicorn first appeared in heraldry in the twelfth century in an early form of the Scottish coat of arms. Second only to the Lion in familiarity, the Unicorn of Scotland takes pride of place on the Royal Arms, holding a shield that symbolises the sovereignty of Her Majesty The Queen, proudly representing the unity of the nations that make up the United Kingdom.

Following the success of previous coins featuring the unicorn, this silver two-ounce edition features the same original design by Jody Clark. Shackled, but not cowed, it captures the majesty of Scotland’s national animal.
