The Unicorn of Scotland is among the most recognizable figures in British heraldry. Known for representing both strength and purity, the unicorn has long been associated with Scotland and its independent spirit. In Scottish heraldic tradition, the unicorn is typically shown with chains, symbolizing that only the authority of the crown can control such a powerful creature.

All 2026 1/2 Gram Pitcairn Islands Gold Queen’s Beast Unicorn Coins available through BullionMax arrive in protective flips. These coins feature proof-like finishes with frosted design elements set against mirrored backgrounds. The Unicorn design is one of five featured in The Tower Mint’s Queen’s Beasts Series, and each release includes Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Signet within the reverse design.

On the obverse of the 2026 Pitcairn Islands Gold Queen’s Beast Unicorn Coin is the image of King Charles III. The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles became King in September 2022 following her passing and was officially crowned in May 2023. This left-profile portrait was created by artist Glyn Davies and appears on select coinage produced by The Tower Mint.

The reverse of the 2026 1/2 Gram Gold Queen’s Beast Unicorn Coin features the Unicorn of Scotland. During Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, the unicorn served as the left-side supporter in the Royal Arms. Depicted with both a crown and chains, the design reflects the traditional heraldic image that has remained an important symbol of Scotland within the royal family’s official emblems.
