The newly released Black Bull of Clarence<\/span><\/a> is the latest edition in the Royal Mint\u2019s series of commemorative gold coins known as The Queen\u2019s Beasts<\/span>. This coin represents a fantastic opportunity for gold investors and coin collectors to buy gold bullion coins<\/span> and expand their gold investment portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series itself commemorates 10 original statues that were present at the Queen\u2019s coronation back in 1953. Chosen for their historic value to the Queen\u2019s ancestors, they act as a symbolic bedrock for the Queen\u2019s long reign. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the series and how to get your hands on the latest edition today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s Beasts Gold Coins<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There were 10 original Queen\u2019s Beast statues present at the Queen\u2019s coronation, all of which still exist to this day. Each stood at an impressive six feet high, and featured an important royal symbol from British history. The Lion of England<\/span><\/a> and the Red Dragon of Wales<\/span><\/a> are among the best known of these symbols. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to travel quite far to see them, however, as they\u2019ve since been given to the Canadian Museum of History<\/span><\/a>, which is based in Quebec. <\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, the Royal Mint\u2019s collection of commemorative gold coins is just about the next best thing. First released in variants of both gold coins<\/span><\/a> and silver coins<\/span><\/a>, more recent editions have also been minted in platinum. <\/span><\/p>\n

The New Queen\u2019s Beast: The Black Bull of Clarence<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Bull of Clarence is the fifth edition of the Queen\u2019s Beast commemorative gold coin series<\/span>, and brings us exactly halfway through the 10 beasts. Released just a few weeks ago, the coin\u2019s image represents a far lesser-known place in British monarchical history than its earlier predecessors. <\/span><\/p>\n

The black bull was first used as a royal symbol towards the latter half of the 15<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Century, when King Edward VI ascended to the throne. The first of the Yorkist monarchs, and an early figure in the famous Wars of the Roses, he chose the black bull as a personal symbol, which endured through future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nobody quite knows why black bull didn\u2019t rise in prominence in the same way as the English Lion, but it certainly constituted enough of an important royal symbol to be included as one of the 10 Queen\u2019s Beasts in 1953.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy gold bullion coins from the whole range<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing about buying commemorative gold coins is the opportunity to build an entire collection. And with a further five coins yet to be released, there\u2019s no better time to start than right now. If you\u2019re looking to buy gold bullion coins, whether from the Queen\u2019s Beast range or elsewhere \u2013 you\u2019ll be happy to hear that we\u2019ve got a diverse range on offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Bull of Clarence<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest coin in the Queen\u2019s Beasts collection is available to those looking to buy gold online<\/span><\/a> on our website, as a 1oz gold coin<\/span><\/a> of 99.99 per cent purity. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Unicorn of Scotland<\/span><\/p>\n

The previous edition of the series, the Unicorn of Scotland was released in November 2017 and commemorates Scotland\u2019s national emblem. The mythical creature has represented Scotland as far back as the 1100s, and has been an important part of the national identity ever since. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Unicorn of Scotland gold coin<\/span><\/a> is available in the same specifications as the Black Bull of Clarence. In addition to this, there is also a 2oz silver coin<\/span><\/a> available. The 2oz Queen\u2019s Beast silver coins are particularly notable as they are the first Royal Mint coins to be minted from two troy ounces of fine silver.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Dragon of Wales<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Dragon of Wales is said to have descended through Welsh history and folklore as far back as King Arthur. We\u2019ll probably never really know how true that is, but it\u2019s definitely become important enough a symbol of Wales since then to earn its place in this series. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Dragon of Wales is also available as a 1oz gold coin<\/span><\/a> and a 2oz silver coin<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Griffin of Edward III<\/span><\/p>\n

A symbol of vigilance, strength and courage, the griffin was first used as a royal symbol by Edward III, who ruled England for much of the 14<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Century between 1327 and 1377. The Queen\u2019s Beast gold coin collection also features a 2oz silver coin<\/span><\/a> and a 1oz gold coin<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Lion of England<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most well-known British mascot, it was of course the Lion of England that first started the Queen\u2019s Beast series back in March 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like the later editions of the series, our website where you can buy gold online features the 1oz gold coin<\/span><\/a> and 2oz silver coin<\/span><\/a> variants. As well as this, we also have a 10oz silver coin available \u2013 one of the largest coins minted by the Royal Mint.<\/span><\/p>\n
