| Additional information |
The Queen's Beasts series concluded under Elizabeth II, but the Royal Mint returned to the Panther — one of the ten heraldic creatures drawn from the Queen's 1953 coronation procession — for this issue struck in the first full year of Charles III's reign. The panther's appearance here is something of an anachronism: it was his mother's beast, not his, which gives the piece an elegiac quality the mintage figures do nothing to explain.
The .9999 fineness is a step above the .999 standard common to most Royal Mint bullion silver, a specification the Mint adopted selectively for premium collector issues beginning in the early 2020s.
