Bullion | 999.9 Fine Gold
Choose your option
Inspired by the majestic Royal Beasts that stand guard over the moat of Hampton Court Palace, the Royal Tudor Beasts bullion coin collection begins with the mighty Lion of England. Strong, intimidating and regal, the lion was a fierce figure to greet visitors to Hampton Court Palace and embodied the values of Henry VIII and his kingdom.
The original, gargoyle-like statue of the lion on the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace inspired David Lawrence, who has captured the magnificent Lion of England in all its glory, with a flowing mane and sharp claws, against a surface animation background texture. The fifth definitive coinage portrait of Her Late Majesty The Queen by Jody Clark appears on the obverse of the coin.
This coin has been struck in one ounce of 999.9 fine gold and is also available as a quarter-ounce gold edition along with silver and platinum editions.

How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
