Falcon of the Plantagenets - 1oz Tudor Beasts Proof Gold Coin Boxed (2019)

The 2019 Falcon of the Plantagenets 1oz gold proof coin is part of a series of ten from the "Queen's Beasts" range of Royal Mint coins. These are ten statues which stood guard outside Westminster Abbey for the Queen's Coronation, sculpted by J. Woodford RA in 1953.

The coin is 24-carat (or 999.9 purity) and contains one ounce of gold. Just like other British currency, this coin is exempt from Capital Gains Tax. Both the obverse and reverse are designed by the Royal Mint's Jody Clark.

The Queen's Beasts statues are still standing, but are currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec. Stone replicas can be found at Kew Gardens.

This Proof one ounce (31.1g) coin is presented in a handsome presentation box and comes with a certificate of authenticity and full colour booklet.
