We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of fractional sovereign gold, recognizing its appeal to collectors and buyers who want exposure to .9999 fine gold from one of the world's most respected government mints in a fractional format.
The Queen's Beast series was launched by The Royal Mint in 2016 as a tribute to the ten heraldic beasts that stood guard at Westminster Abbey during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Each beast in the series was originally sculpted in plaster by James Woodford for that ceremony and has since become an enduring symbol of British royal heraldry. The coin series translates that iconography into struck gold and silver, creating a cohesive numismatic collection tied directly to one of the most significant moments in British constitutional history.
The Yale of Beaufort is a mythological creature with roots in English heraldry dating back to the fifteenth century. Associated with Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, the yale was said to be capable of swiveling its horns independently, a detail that carried symbolic meaning in medieval heraldic tradition. Its inclusion in the Queen's Beast series connects the modern monarchy to the deep lineage of Tudor heraldic imagery.
The Royal Mint has operated continuously for over 1,100 years and is recognized as one of the premier sovereign minting authorities in the world. Its precision standards and quality controls are among the most rigorous in government minting, which is reflected in both the design execution and the technical specifications of every coin it produces.
The reverse of this coin features a bold, sculpted portrait of the Yale of Beaufort rendered in striking detail by sculptor Jody Clark. The yale is depicted in a heraldic stance, displaying its distinctive swiveled horns, spotted body, and powerful form, all set against a shield bearing the arms of Lady Margaret Beaufort. The design carries an energy that reads as both ancient and modern, capturing the mythological weight of the subject without sacrificing numismatic precision.
The obverse features Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a design introduced in 2015 and used throughout the Queen's Beast series. The Queen's effigy is shown in right-facing profile with the inscription "ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF" along with the denomination and year of issue. The coin's fields are clean and well-defined, with the Brilliant Uncirculated finish producing sharp relief and bright, undisturbed surfaces across both sides.
At 1/4 oz, this coin occupies a practical middle ground within the Queen's Beast lineup, which spans sizes from 1/4 oz through 10 oz. The fractional format makes it more accessible on a per-unit cost basis than the full one-ounce version while still delivering the same .9999 fine gold purity and the same Royal Mint production quality. For buyers building a complete Queen's Beast set, the 1/4 oz size is a popular format that balances collectibility with budget flexibility.
Fractional gold coins also lend themselves well to staged accumulation. Acquiring individual fractional pieces over time allows buyers to build a meaningful position in a recognized series without committing to the full cost of a larger coin in a single transaction.
Each coin is struck by The Royal Mint to a confirmed weight of 1/4 troy oz and a purity of .9999 fine gold, specifications that are independently verifiable and consistent with The Royal Mint's published production standards. The Royal Mint's quality controls are among the strictest exercised by any sovereign minting authority, and the Queen's Beast series in particular was produced with tight tolerances given its collector-focused positioning.
Every coin we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC further support authentication where grading or third-party certification is relevant to a buyer's needs. The combination of government-backed production and our own verification standards ensures that what you receive is exactly what is represented.
Brilliant Uncirculated is the standard production quality for Queen's Beast coins intended for collector and investor use. It indicates a coin that has never been placed into circulation, with full mint luster, sharp strike detail, and surfaces free from the wear that would be associated with handling or use. The BU grade is the baseline condition for this series as issued by The Royal Mint and represents the standard against which the coins in your hands should be measured.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve their condition and prevent handling damage. A standard tube of the 2019 1/4 oz Queen's Beast gold coin holds 25 pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in the tube. Larger bulk orders ship in sealed boxes as appropriate for the quantity ordered. Packaging reflects the coin's collectible status, and we take care that delivery format maintains the integrity of the coin's surface and presentation.
The price of this coin is tied directly to the live spot price of gold, with a premium above spot that reflects the coin's origins as a government-issued, collector-oriented fractional piece from The Royal Mint. Fractional gold coins from recognized sovereign mints consistently carry a higher premium per ounce than full-ounce equivalents, a pattern driven by production cost allocation and the stronger per-unit demand that fractional formats generate from collectors and smaller buyers.
Within the Queen's Beast series, the Yale of Beaufort carries additional market interest as one of the later releases in a completed ten-coin set. Collector demand for series completion tends to support premiums on individual issues, particularly those that are no longer in current production. Our pricing reflects real-time gold market conditions and is updated to remain competitive without introducing artificial complexity.
Queen's Beast coins from The Royal Mint are globally recognized within the numismatic and bullion markets, and the 1/4 oz gold format is well understood by dealers, collectors, and secondary market buyers alike. The series has a documented collector following that extends well beyond the United Kingdom, which supports demand on the resale side when individual pieces or partial sets come back to market.
We operate a two-way market, which means customers can sell back to us directly rather than searching for third-party buyers. Our competitive buyback pricing is designed to reflect current wholesale market conditions, and we encourage buyers to consider liquidity before purchasing rather than only when they are ready to sell. Understanding the spread between purchase price and expected resale value is a practical part of evaluating any physical gold product.
The Yale of Beaufort coin combines government-backed .9999 fine gold production from The Royal Mint with strong numismatic design and collectible series context. For buyers focused purely on gold content, it delivers a recognized and verifiable fractional unit. For collectors, it represents one piece of a cohesive, historically grounded ten-coin series that is now complete and no longer in current production, a factor that typically supports long-term secondary market interest.
The 1/4 oz format gives this coin broader practical reach than the larger issues in the series while maintaining the same design quality and production standards. Buyers who want to own the full Queen's Beast series in gold without concentrating exclusively in one-ounce pieces will find the fractional format a logical and functional choice.
We have built our business on the premise that transparency and long-term trust matter more than any single transaction. Our pricing is tied to live market conditions, clearly displayed, and structured to give you a complete picture of what you are paying and what you can expect when you sell. The bid/ask spread visible on each product page reflects real market dynamics, not arbitrary markup, and it changes as market conditions evolve.
We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to support authentication and certification needs beyond the standard purchase. Our sourcing draws from reputable mints, wholesalers, and distributors, and every product we carry is verified before it ships. When you are ready to sell, our two-way market structure keeps that process within the same ecosystem where you bought, with competitive buyback pricing that reflects current wholesale conditions.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like this 1/4 oz Queen's Beast gold coin, allowing you to see exactly how the market is pricing the coin in real time rather than relying on static retail figures. Pro members also have access to proprietary tools that track premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics specific to individual products, which is particularly useful for evaluating collector-oriented fractional coins where premiums can move independently of spot price based on demand and secondary market activity.
Portfolio valuation through Bullion Standard Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving you a more accurate picture of what your holdings are worth in the current market. For collectors building a Queen's Beast set or buyers accumulating fractional gold across multiple products, this kind of objective, real-time visibility helps you understand your position with greater clarity and make decisions grounded in actual market data.
