Like all coins in this Queen’s Beasts series both the obverse and reverse are designed by Jody Clark. The Queen's Beasts coins are based on the ten statues which stood guard outside Westminster Abbey for the Queen's Coronation in 1953. They were originally sculpted by J. Woodford RA in 1953 and represent the various houses in the Queen's ancestry. Over the past five years the Royal Mint have released 10 coins, each representing a heraldic device used by one of the houses in the Queen's lineage.
The fourth release in The Queen’s Beasts Collection celebrates the Black Bull of Clarence. The Black Bull of Clarence was passed down to the Queen through Edward IV. The shield displays the Royal Arms as they were carried by Edward IV, his brother Richard III, and all the monarchs of the Houses of Lancaster and Tudor.
The coin weighs one ounce and is 24-carat (.9999 purity). It is worth noting that as this is classed as British currency, this coin, like many other British coins, is VAT-free and is exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT).
