Product Description:
 
The 2018 Black Bull of Clarence is the fourth issue in The Royal Mint’s respected Queen’s Beasts series. This collection pays tribute to the ten heraldic statues that stood at Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, each one representing an important strand of royal ancestry. The Black Bull of Clarence is a symbol of strength, power, and noble heritage.
 
Closely associated with the House of York, the Black Bull reflects the military might and authority of the Plantagenet kings. Its bold stance and commanding appearance make it one of the most striking designs in the series. It represents dominance, loyalty to the Crown, and a proud chapter of English history.
 
The obverse of the coin features the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, accompanied by the traditional inscription that confirms its legal tender status.
 
The reverse, also designed by Jody Clark, depicts the Black Bull of Clarence holding a shield that carries the Royal Arms of England. The surrounding text identifies the coin’s purity, weight, and year of issue.
 
Struck in one ounce of 999.9 fine gold, this release combines powerful historical symbolism with investment grade purity. It is a popular choice for collectors of the Queen’s Beasts series and for investors seeking high quality gold pieces.
