Start your Queen's Beasts gold collection with the inaugural 2017 Lion of England 1oz gold proof coin from The Royal Mint.

The Lion of England - a symbol of monarchy and courage used for centuries - is shown crowned and rampant, supporting a shield that bears the Royal Arms. Jody Clark's powerful design was struck in one troy ounce of 24-carat (999.9) gold to the Mint's finest proof standard, with multiple strikes of polished dies producing exceptional detail. Issued with a strict worldwide limit of just 1,000 coins, this sought-after £100 one ounce coin is supplied pre-owned in its official Royal Mint case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
