In 2016, an exciting new coin series was unveiled by The Royal Mint: The Queen's Beasts. The first release is the Lion of England, with this edition being the two ounce bullion version. The Lion of England is one of the prominent symbols in Britain today, taking its place on the official Royal Coat of Arms. This fearsome beast has featured in the English royal arms since mediaeval times, symbolising courage and nobility. Jody Clark took inspiration for his reverse design from the Lion of England statue at Westminster Abbey, and he majestically recreates it on the reverse of this coin. The crowned 'King of the Beasts' is seen holding the shield of the Royal Arms with his left claw and roaring. This striking design also complements Clark's engraving of the obverse, which shows the fifth UK coinage portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II and is one of the first coins to feature this particular motif of Her Majesty. These investment pieces have a face value of £5 / Five Pounds and feature the textured background that distinguishes bullion Queen's Beasts pieces from their proof counterparts. You'll receive your pre-owned Lion of England coin loose: there may be some slight blemishes present on the surface which is nothing abnormal for uncirculated bullion coins. The precious metal value will not be affected. Specifications are a weight of 28.28 grams and a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. Collect this attractive silver UK coin today, available with free insured shipping to UK addresses.
