2023 Tudor Beasts Bull of Clarence 1/4oz Gold Coin
The 2023 Tudor Beasts Bull of Clarence 1/4oz Gold Coin is an official Royal Mint bullion coin struck from 1/4 troy ounce (7.78g) of .9999 fine gold. As part of the acclaimed Royal Tudor Beasts Collection, it offers an affordable way to own investment-grade physical gold while celebrating one of the most historic heraldic beasts of the Tudor dynasty.
The Bull of Clarence is the third bullion release in the Tudor Beasts series. Its origins trace back to Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, before becoming part of Tudor heraldry through the union of the Houses of York and Lancaster. The bull symbolises strength, determination and noble ancestry, and its stone counterpart stands proudly on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace alongside the other Tudor Beasts.
Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the Bull of Clarence holding a shield bearing the Tudor Rose. The design incorporates The Royal Mint’s advanced chain-mail surface animation security feature, enhancing both the beauty of the coin and its protection against counterfeiting. The obverse features the official coinage portrait of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.
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.
