Something stirs beneath the surface. The Royal Mint launches an entirely new bullion series — Legendary Creatures — and the first coin to emerge from the depths is Scotland’s most famous mystery: the Loch Ness Monster. Struck in one ounce of .9999 fine gold with a worldwide mintage of just 5,000 coins, this inaugural release marks the beginning of a collection built on centuries of myth, folklore, and fascination. Now available for cryptocurrency at BitGolder.

The First of Its Kind

This is the debut coin in The Royal Mint’s brand-new Legendary Creatures bullion series — a collection that will honour the mythical beasts and cryptids woven into the folklore of the British Isles and beyond. First releases in new Royal Mint series carry particular significance for collectors, often commanding premiums once the series gains momentum and earlier issues sell through. With only 5,000 coins struck, early allocation is essential.

The Legend

For nearly 1,500 years, stories have circulated about a mysterious creature inhabiting the dark, peat-stained waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The first recorded sighting dates to the sixth century, when the Irish monk Saint Columba reportedly encountered a beast in the River Ness. Since then, countless eyewitness accounts, grainy photographs, and sonar readings have fuelled one of the most enduring mysteries in world folklore.

Whether ancient plesiosaur, giant eel, or elaborate hoax — Nessie has transcended local legend to become a global cultural icon, drawing millions of visitors to the Scottish Highlands and inspiring books, films, and scientific expeditions spanning over a century.

Design & Artistry

Reverse: The Loch Ness Monster surges from the waters of a Scottish loch with a fierce, commanding expression — conveying the raw power and dominance of a creature born from centuries of myth. Behind it, a dramatic Highland landscape of rugged mountains and a castle on the shore completes the scene, grounding the mythical in the unmistakably real beauty of Scotland. The coin’s weight, purity, and year date are also featured.
