The Queen's Beasts 2021 White Horse of Hanover 1oz Platinum Bullion Coin

Bullion | 999.5 Fine Platinum

Capturing generations of royal heritage and power, The Queen’s Beasts Collection reimagines ten heraldic creatures that famously stood guard at Her Late Majesty The Queen’s coronation some 70 years ago. The latest addition to this desirable collection brings the White Horse of Hanover to life on a new bullion coin, showcasing the quality and exceptional craftsmanship that The Royal Mint is known for around the world.

The emblem of the white horse became a part of Her Late Majesty’s ancestral story when the British throne passed to George of Hanover in 1714. In Jody Clark’s dynamic design, the galloping White Horse of Hanover holds a shield depicting the three lions of England, the lion of Scotland, the fleur-de-lis of France, the Irish harp, and the Arms for Hanover.

The powerful figure of the horse is set against a beautifully detailed chain mail background on the reverse, whilst a guilloche texture surrounds Her Late Majesty’s portrait on the obverse of the coin. Struck in 999.5 fine platinum, each coin is finished to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard, and is also available as a ten-ounce silver edition.

Key Points:

  • Each coin contains one troy ounce of 999.5 fine platinum
  • Struck to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard
  • Both sides of the coin are designed by Jody Clark
  • Features a chain mail background texture for added security
  • Exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax for UK residents
  • Individually packaged in a single coin capsule
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.
