Invest in a timeless legend of British folklore as Beowulf, the epic Old English poem, inspires the final bullion coin in our Myths and Legends Collection. This third and concluding coin in the Beowulf series depicts Beowulf's legendary battle against the dragon, a moment of courage and sacrifice that marks the end of his heroic journey.
Beowulf, the longest-surviving poem in Old English, recounts the hero's final stand as a king, reminding us of the enduring power of loyalty, courage, and kinship that binds heroes to their people. This concluding design, meticulously crafted by David Lawrence, depicts Beowulf facing the dragon in his last battle. Each coin is struck in 999 fine silver to The Royal Mint's Bullion standard.
How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
