2022 Tudor Beasts Lion of England 1/4oz Gold Coin

The 2022 Tudor Beasts Lion of England 1/4oz Gold Coin is an official Royal Mint bullion coin struck from 1/4 troy ounce (7.78g) of .9999 fine gold. As the first bullion release in the acclaimed Royal Tudor Beasts Collection, it marks the beginning of one of The Royal Mint’s most popular modern bullion series.

The Lion of England has represented English royalty for centuries and was chosen by Henry VIII as the first of the ten heraldic beasts displayed on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace. Symbolising courage, strength and royal authority, the lion serves as the perfect introduction to the Tudor Beasts collection.

Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the crowned Lion of England holding a shield displaying the combined arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. The design features The Royal Mint’s advanced surface animation security feature, helping to protect against counterfeiting while enhancing the coin’s visual appeal. The obverse features the fifth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark.

The quarter-ounce denomination is ideal for investors looking to build a physical gold portfolio gradually while still owning an official Royal Mint bullion coin recognised around the world.
