The 2018 Queen's Beast Bull is a 1/4 oz gold coin struck by The Royal Mint in .9999 fine gold and issued as legal tender with a face value of £25. It belongs to the acclaimed Queen's Beast series, a ten-coin program celebrating the heraldic animals that stood guard at the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This quarter-ounce format delivers the same minting precision and design quality as the full one-ounce issues in the series.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Royal Mint's standard for collector and bullion-grade production at this tier of the series. For buyers looking to add a recognized Royal Mint issue with strong visual appeal and a fractional gold weight, this coin checks both boxes.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Royal Mint's standard for collector and bullion-grade production at this tier of the series. For buyers looking to add a recognized Royal Mint issue with strong visual appeal and a fractional gold weight, this coin checks both boxes.
The Queen's Beast series was introduced by The Royal Mint in 2016, drawing inspiration from the ten sculpted heraldic beasts that flanked the young Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953. Each beast represented a line of royal descent, and the series was designed to honor that symbolic tradition through modern precision minting. The Black Bull of Clarence, featured on this 2018 release, represents the House of York through Edward IV and is one of the more visually commanding figures in the lineup.
The Royal Mint has operated continuously since the late ninth century, making it one of the oldest and most distinguished minting institutions in the world. Its history of producing sovereign coinage for the British Crown gives every coin in this series a level of institutional credibility that few other programs can match. The Queen's Beast series sits within a long tradition of commemorative and bullion issues from the Mint that balance artistic ambition with strict metallurgical standards.
The reverse of this coin features the Black Bull of Clarence rendered in high relief, shown charging forward with a shield bearing the arms of Edward IV set against its flank. The design was created by sculptor Jody Clark, whose work on the Queen's Beast series is widely regarded as some of the most detailed and dynamic relief work in modern British coinage. The bold composition makes excellent use of the coin's limited surface area without sacrificing clarity or definition.
The obverse carries the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, also designed by Jody Clark, alongside the coin's legal tender specifications: the weight, purity, face value, and year of issue. The contrast between the relief imagery and the mirror-like fields gives the Brilliant Uncirculated finish a sharp, polished appearance that holds up well in both display and handling contexts.
At 1/4 oz, this coin offers a practical entry point into Royal Mint gold without requiring the full capital commitment of a one-ounce piece. The fractional format is well-suited to buyers who want to accumulate exposure to .9999 fine gold at a measured pace or add design variety to a collection without concentrating weight in a single coin.
The smaller size also carries a practical advantage when it comes to flexibility. Quarter-ounce coins are easier to portion, trade, or hold individually, which appeals to buyers who prefer more granular control over the size of each holding within their stack.
Each coin is struck to .9999 fine gold by The Royal Mint, one of the world's most rigorously audited minting institutions. The precision of the die work and the consistency of the relief across the series reflect production standards that have been refined over centuries of sovereign coinage. The specifications stamped directly on the coin, including weight and purity, serve as an integrated authentication feature that cannot be easily replicated.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, which informs how we handle and evaluate numismatic and collector-grade issues across our catalog. For standard bullion coins like this one, the institutional credibility of The Royal Mint itself provides the primary layer of authentication assurance.
Brilliant Uncirculated, or BU, describes coins that have been struck for distribution but have not been specifically selected or handled for proof-level presentation. These coins show no signs of wear and retain their original mint luster, though minor contact marks from the production and packaging process may be present. This is the standard commercial condition for Royal Mint bullion coins and does not indicate any deficiency in quality.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve their condition during transit. Queen's Beast quarter-ounce coins are typically packaged in tubes of 20 from The Royal Mint. When purchasing at tube quantity, coins arrive in the standard mint tube. Larger bulk orders are packaged accordingly. Packaging details are confirmed at checkout to ensure expectations are set before the order is placed.
The price of this coin is directly tied to the spot price of gold, which fluctuates continuously based on global supply and demand, currency movements, and broader macroeconomic conditions. The premium above spot reflects the cost of production at The Royal Mint, the coin's legal tender status, the collector appeal of the Queen's Beast series, and the distribution costs associated with bringing a foreign sovereign coin to market in the United States.
Fractional gold coins generally carry a higher premium relative to metal content than their one-ounce counterparts, since the fixed costs of minting are spread across a smaller gold weight. The Queen's Beast series commands additional premium recognition due to its design quality and the limited release schedule of individual coins within the program. Our pricing reflects real-time spot conditions and is structured to be transparent and consistent rather than artificially complex.
The Queen's Beast series enjoys strong recognition among both bullion buyers and numismatic collectors, which supports resale activity across a range of secondary market channels. The combination of .9999 fine gold, Royal Mint production, and legal tender status from a G7 nation gives this coin broad credibility in international trading environments. Quarter-ounce denominations from established sovereign series are routinely traded by dealers and collectors globally.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell within the same platform using competitive buyback pricing. We believe liquidity is a factor worth evaluating before a purchase is made, not only when it is time to sell. Our bid pricing on products like this one is structured to reflect real-time wholesale market conditions, giving sellers a transparent and efficient exit when they are ready.
The Black Bull of Clarence release stands out within the Queen's Beast series for the aggression and detail of its reverse design. For collectors working through the series, this coin is a necessary addition, and for bullion buyers seeking .9999 fine gold from one of the world's most respected mints, the quarter-ounce format provides genuine value. The combination of artistic quality, precise minting standards, and legal tender backing from the United Kingdom makes this a well-rounded coin across multiple buyer profiles.
The limited annual release structure of the Queen's Beast program means individual issues are not produced indefinitely. Buyers who want a specific coin in the series need to acquire it while it remains available in the secondary market at standard bullion premiums. This coin occupies a meaningful place within a finite, completed series, which distinguishes it from open-ended bullion programs.
We have been operating in the physical precious metals market since 2010, and the principles that shaped our business from the beginning, transparency, honest pricing, and long-term customer relationships, still define how we operate today. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate both the acquisition cost and the expected resale value before completing a purchase.
We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we handle and evaluate coins with the rigor those relationships require. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our two-way market structure means we are equally invested in the selling side of the transaction as we are in the buying side. Our goal is a straightforward, informed experience at every stage.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including sovereign gold coins like this Queen's Beast issue. Rather than displaying indicative prices, the platform is built around real-time executable market pricing that reflects actual wholesale supply and demand conditions.
