Gold 1/4oz White Lion of Mortimer coin (2020)

This beautiful 1/4oz gold coin is the eighth of a series of ten that will feature the "Queen's Beasts". The coin features the Lion of Mortimer. The coin is pure gold and weighs quarter ounce (7.775 grams).

The face value £25 coin means this item will be exempt of any Capital Gains Tax when you are ready to sell.

The Queen's Beasts are ten statues which stood guard for the Queen's Coronation, sculpted by James Woodford RA in 1953. The Queen's Beasts are still standing, but are currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, Canada. Stone replicas of the statues can be found at Kew Gardens.

A note to collectors - the Queens Beast series of coins will be issued one-by-one by the Royal Mint up until 2020. If you intend to collect this range, we will not have access to these earlier coins in 2020 as they are limited edition, so you will need to purchase them individually as they become available (roughly every six months).
