2019 1oz Platinum Coin - The Black Bull of Clarence

The Royal Mint Queen's Beast series of coins continues to grow with the addition of the 2019 One Ounce Platinum Black Bull of Clarence to the range. The Queen's Beasts is the first ever series of Platinum coins issued by the Royal Mint.

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. The Bull on this coin is holding a shield which contains golden lions of England as well as golden lilies of France.

A note to collectors - the Queen's 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).
