2022 Tudor Beasts Lion Of England Quarter Ounce Gold Bullion Coin
The first bullion release in The Royal Mint's new Tudor Beasts series: the uncirculated quarter ounce Lion of England coin. Created in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces, the Tudor Beasts is a celebration of England's most famous royal dynasty through the real and heraldic creatures used on their coats of arms. The ten-part collection will feature designs, inspired by a group of statues at Hampton Court Palace. Like all the coins in this exciting new series, the 2022 Tudor Lion features a reverse design crafted by the esteemed illustrator, David Lawrence. His creations take inspiration from the statues at Hampton Court and he expertly adapts each beast onto these collectable coins. Lawrence's lion is crowned and clutches a shield that combines the arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. In heraldry, lions symbolise courage and nobility. These fearsome beasts have featured in the English royal arms since mediaeval times. Jody Clark's fifth official UK coin portrait of the late Elizabeth II appears on the obverse. This is one of Her Majesty's final appearances on our nation's coinage. Struck in 7.80 grams of 999.9 gold, this 1/4oz coin is offered in The Royal Mint's bullion finish. These investment pieces feature a special security feature: a textured background that makes Tudor Beasts bullion coins easily distinguishable from their proof counterparts. Some small blemishes could be present on the coin's surface, which is perfectly normal for mass-produced coins and won't affect their resale value. VAT and CGT free.
