2016 1/4 oz Great Britain Queen's Beast - Lion of England .9999 Gold Coin (PCGS MS69)
### **PCGS MS69 Specifics** - **Grade**: **MS-69** (Mint State 69) — A near-perfect grade from PCGS, indicating only minuscule imperfections (if any) that are virtually invisible to the naked eye. It is one step below the flawless MS-70. - **Population**: Specific PCGS population figures for this exact variety in MS69 are not widely published in real-time, but MS69 examples are significantly scarcer than lower grades while still more available than perfect MS70 coins. Graded examples (often seen in NGC MS69 as well) command a premium over raw bullion due to the condition and series popularity. - **Holder**: Encapsulated in a protective PCGS slab for authentication, grade guarantee, and preservation. ### **Design Details** - **Obverse**: Features Jody Clark’s fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the royal diadem, facing right. Inscriptions include “ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D • 25 POUNDS”. - **Reverse**: Depicts a majestic, crowned rampant Lion of England (standing on hind legs) clutching a shield bearing the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom. The lion appears fierce and powerful against a textured (chainmail-like) background. Inscriptions read “LION OF ENGLAND • 1/4 OZ FINE GOLD 999.9 • 2016”. Jody Clark’s initials (JC) appear near the shield. *Please note that the serial numbers for this product will be selected randomly for dispatch.
