Introducing the 2016 Queen’s Beasts Lion of England 1oz Gold Coin – The First Release in a Historic Royal Series
The 2016 Lion of England 1oz Gold Coin marks the beginning of The Royal Mint’s Queen’s Beasts Collection, a prestigious bullion series honouring ten heraldic creatures that represent centuries of British royal heritage.
The Lion of England is one of the oldest and most recognisable symbols of British royalty. A powerful emblem of strength, courage, and nobility, the lion has featured in royal arms since the 12th century. In this debut coin, the lion is depicted in a bold, upright pose, holding a shield bearing the Royal Arms — a striking tribute to the enduring power and authority of the monarchy.
Struck in 1 troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, the Lion of England is both an historic milestone for collectors and a secure, high-purity investment for those seeking to preserve wealth in physical gold. The obverse features the fifth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
