2016 1/4oz The White Lion of England 24ct Gold Coin

Description

The first coin in the exciting collection features the crowned golden lion of England, which has been one of the supporters of the Royal Arms since the reign of Edward IV.

The Queen’s Beasts bullion coins are British coins issued by the Royal Mint since 2016. Available in gold and silver, they provide a new and exciting option for investment. The collection is designed to celebrate the centuries of tradition and heritage that came before this young woman was crowned queen.

Upon HM Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, they stood in front of the temporary western annex of Westminster Abbey and were originally uncoloured except for their shields.
