The 2016 Lion of England 1/4 oz Gold Coin was the inaugural release in The Royal Mint's highly celebrated Queen's Beasts series. Representing strength, courage, and royal authority, the Lion of England is one of the most iconic heraldic symbols of British history.

Historical Insight:

Unveiled as the first of ten designs in the Queen's Beasts series, the Lion of England stands as a powerful symbol dating back to the 12th century. Traditionally used on royal banners and coats of arms, the lion was one of the ten statues flanking Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. This coin not only kicks off a legendary modern series but also connects the present monarchy with a millennium of regal tradition.

Struck in .9999 fine gold, this Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin offers a compact yet detailed homage to British heritage, making it a prized asset for collectors and investors alike.
