The Queen's Beast series was introduced by The Royal Mint in 2016 to commemorate the ten heraldic statues that stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Each beast represented a different ancestral line connected to the British royal family, and the series was designed to honor both the symbolism of those figures and the Queen's reign. The program ran from 2016 through 2021, with each beast released in sequence across gold, silver, and platinum formats at multiple weights.
The White Horse of Hanover represents the lineage of King George I, whose succession brought the House of Hanover to the British throne in 1714. As the final design in the ten-part series, the White Horse carries particular significance for collectors who followed the program from its first release. The Royal Mint has operated continuously for over 1,100 years and remains one of the most respected sovereign minting institutions in the world, with a long record of producing coins that meet the highest technical and artistic standards.
The reverse of the coin depicts the White Horse of Hanover in a rearing posture, rendered with fine sculptural detail that captures the power and movement of the animal. The design includes a shield bearing the arms of Hanover, along with the inscription "The White Horse of Hanover," the coin's weight and purity, and the year of issue. The overall composition is bold and heraldic, consistent with the visual language used throughout the Queen's Beast series.
The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which became the standard effigy used across Royal Mint coinage from 2015 onward. The portrait is accompanied by the Queen's name, the face value, and the designation of the issuing authority. The coin's surface reflects the high-relief, precision-struck quality that characterizes The Royal Mint's bullion output, with sharp lines and consistent field definition across both faces.
At 1/4 oz, this coin offers a lower price point than full-ounce formats while retaining the same .9999 purity and official Royal Mint production standards. For buyers who want to complete a Queen's Beast set without the full capital outlay of one-ounce coins, fractional pieces like this one provide a practical path to building that collection over time.
The smaller format also works well for buyers who prefer to spread purchases across multiple transactions rather than concentrating a larger amount in a single piece. Fractional gold coins from recognized sovereign mints tend to trade with reasonable liquidity, though premiums per troy ounce are typically higher than those on full-ounce equivalents due to the proportionally greater production cost per unit of metal.
Each coin is struck by The Royal Mint to a fineness of .9999 and a stated weight of 1/4 troy ounce, meeting the rigorous production tolerances that the mint applies to its entire bullion output. The Royal Mint's internal quality control process ensures that each coin meets precise dimensional and weight specifications before it leaves production. These standards are consistent across the Queen's Beast series and are part of what makes Royal Mint coins widely recognized in the secondary market.
We carry authorized products from reputable sovereign mints and verify every item for authenticity and conformance before it reaches a customer. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to assist customers who want to explore graded options within this series or have coins certified through either service.
Brilliant Uncirculated indicates that the coin was struck for circulation-quality production but has never entered circulation, retaining its original mint finish with no signs of wear. BU coins are not struck to proof standards and do not carry the mirror fields and frosted devices of a proof finish, but they represent solid mint-state condition suitable for both handling and display.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve condition during transit. A tube of Queen's Beast 1/4 oz gold coins from The Royal Mint typically holds ten pieces, and a full box would contain multiple tubes. When ordering a single coin or a small quantity, the flip format provides adequate protection without adding unnecessary bulk. If you are purchasing a full tube, coins are packaged together in the standard Royal Mint tube configuration.
Pricing for this coin is based on the live spot price of gold at the time of purchase, with a premium applied above that spot price. The premium on Queen's Beast coins reflects several compounding factors: the recognized design program, The Royal Mint's production quality, the .9999 purity standard, and the collector appeal that comes with a completed ten-coin series. Fractional coins also carry a slightly higher per-ounce premium than their full-ounce counterparts due to the fixed production costs distributed across a smaller quantity of metal.
Our pricing is structured to reflect real-time market conditions rather than fixed retail markups, and the bid/ask spread displayed on the product page gives buyers a complete view of both the acquisition cost and the current wholesale buyback value. That spread changes as market conditions, demand, and wholesale pricing evolve, so what you see at any given moment reflects current market reality.
Gold coins from The Royal Mint, particularly those from well-documented series like the Queen's Beast program, trade actively in both domestic and international secondary markets. The combination of sovereign issuance, standardized .9999 purity, and a clearly defined series structure makes these coins straightforward to evaluate and transact for experienced buyers and dealers alike. The White Horse, as the final coin in the series, carries additional collector significance that can support demand from buyers looking to complete a full set.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Liquidity should be considered before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale, and the bid pricing displayed on our product pages gives you a clear reference point for current wholesale buyback values before you commit to a transaction.
The Queen's Beast White Horse occupies a distinct position in the series as the tenth and final design, making it an important piece for collectors who followed the program from its 2016 debut. Beyond its collector context, the coin offers the fundamental attributes of a sound bullion piece: sovereign issuance, .9999 purity, Royal Mint production quality, and legal tender status. These characteristics support both market recognition and practical usability across a range of buying and selling scenarios.
The 1/4 oz format specifically suits buyers who want to own a full-series piece at a fraction of the cost of a one-ounce coin, or who are building a collection of fractional gold across multiple Queen's Beast releases. The design quality is consistent with the full-ounce version, and the coin's heraldic imagery translates well even at the smaller diameter. For anyone with a specific interest in Royal Mint numismatic programs, this coin is one of the more meaningful individual releases to include.
We have been operating as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always centered on pricing transparency, reliable fulfillment, and building relationships with customers who intend to engage with this market over the long term. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects a consistent track record of resolving issues fairly and operating with integrity. Membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association further reflects our commitment to professional standards within the industry.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are well-positioned to support customers across the spectrum from raw bullion to certified numismatic coins. Our sourcing draws from reputable sovereign mints, established refineries, and trusted wholesale distributors. Every product is verified before it ships, and our customer service team is accessible and knowledgeable across the full range of products we carry. We built this platform to function as a transparent marketplace, not a traditional high-pressure sales environment, and that distinction shapes the experience at every step.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our full catalog, including Queen's Beast gold coins. Rather than working from static retail prices, Pro members see pricing that reflects real-time supply and demand conditions at the wholesale level, with no additional dealer markups applied on top. For a coin like the White Horse, where collector demand and series completeness can influence premiums, having access to transparent wholesale pricing and historical premium data provides meaningful context that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid prices, giving members a more accurate picture of liquidation value than estimates based on retail pricing. Proprietary analytics tools allow members to compare premiums, track bid/ask spread tightness, and evaluate liquidity across products over time, supporting more deliberate decisions about when and what to buy or sell within the precious metals market.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal for added convenience. Bank-connected payments are available through Plaid, and buyers who prefer traditional methods can use wire transfer or paper check. For those who prefer digital currency, we accept cryptocurrency payments through BitPay.
Each payment method is processed with transaction security as a priority, and our checkout experience is designed to minimize friction while maintaining the safeguards appropriate to a precious metals transaction. Whether you are making a first purchase or managing ongoing acquisitions, the flexibility in payment options is intended to accommodate a wide range of buyer preferences without compromising security or efficiency.
