When Queen Elizabeth II stepped forward to official accept the crown of Queen of England in 1953, there were 10 wooden statues created by James Woodford that surrounded her during the ceremony. The first of these was the Lion of England, and it features on a beautiful new series of coins from the Royal Mint released started in 2016. Today, the 2016 1/4 oz Gold British Queens Beast Coin is available to purchase on Silver.com.

More and more often investors are buying gold in fractionals to meet their needs because of their divisibility. Spot price of gold changes frequently, but can always be divided or multiplied to get your fractional piece’s spot value.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships in a plastic flip to protect the coin’s condition.
  • First of 10 planned design releases in the series of Queens Beast Coins.
  • One of three weights available in 2016.
  • Consists of One-Quarter Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • Face value of £25 (GBP) is fully backed by the United Kingdom’s government.
  • Obverse features the latest Queen Elizabeth II portrait.
  • Reverse bears the image of the Lion of England.
  • Both sides designed by Jody Clark.
  • Brilliant Uncirculated specimen.

Jody Clark became the youngest Royal Mint engraver to ever create a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when he unveiled the latest design of the monarch for United Kingdom coinage. His 2015 design replaces that of Ian Rank-Broadley, which has been in use since 1998.

The British Queens Beast Coin program is a planned 10-design series that features new designs for each of the animals featured in the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II. In total, the British Queens Beast coin series features a 1 oz gold coin, this 2016 1/4 oz Gold British Queens Beast Coin, and the Royal Mint’s first-ever 2 oz silver bullion coin.

On the obverse of the Gold British Queens Beast Coin you’ll find Clark’s all-new portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in right-profile relief, Her Majesty’s portrait is surrounded by engravings of her name, the year of issue, and the face value of the coin in Pound Sterling.

The reverse of the 2016 1/4 oz Gold British Queens Beast Coin includes the fearsome image of the Lion of England. It is depicted standing behind the Royal Coat of Arms, with one paw holding the shield and the other raised, poised to strike back at the nation’s enemies.

All 2016 1/4 oz Gold British Queens Beast Coins in this listing are Brilliant Uncirculated products. Each one exhibits no signs of wear and tear, however you may notice minor blemishes such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the coining process.

The Royal Mint was originally founded in the early 9th century as the London Mint. For more than one-thousand years it has coined official currency for the crown, and today produces the official Pound Sterling of the United Kingdom.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
