The 2020 Queen's Beast White Lion is a 1/4 troy ounce gold coin struck in .9999 fine gold and issued by The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom. It carries legal tender status under the authority of Queen Elizabeth II and forms part of the acclaimed Queen's Beast series, one of the most widely followed sovereign gold programs of the modern era. We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the precise standard maintained by The Royal Mint throughout its production run.
As a fractional sovereign coin, the White Lion appeals to collectors and buyers who want Royal Mint quality in a smaller, more accessible format. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold coins in current production, and its government-backed issuance adds a layer of credibility that independent rounds simply cannot match.
The Queen's Beast series was introduced by The Royal Mint in 2016 as a tribute to the ten heraldic creatures that stood guard at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Each figure was drawn from centuries of British royal heraldry, and the series was designed to honor that traditio

The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold coins in current production, and its government-backed issuance adds a layer of credibility that independent rounds simply cannot match.
The Queen's Beast series was introduced by The Royal Mint in 2016 as a tribute to the ten heraldic creatures that stood guard at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Each figure was drawn from centuries of British royal heraldry, and the series was designed to honor that tradition through a decade-long coinage program spanning individual coin releases tied to each beast. The White Lion of Mortimer was one of the ten creatures selected for the series and carries deep connections to the House of York.
The Royal Mint itself traces its origins back more than 1,100 years, making it one of the oldest active minting institutions in the world. Operating today from its facility in Llantrisant, Wales, The Royal Mint produces currency for the United Kingdom alongside a full catalog of collector and bullion coinage distributed to markets across the globe. The Queen's Beast program became one of the mint's most commercially successful modern series, with demand driven by both collector interest and buyers focused on sovereign-issued fractional gold.
The reverse of the White Lion coin features a bold depiction of the White Lion of Mortimer, shown rampant and bearing a shield charged with the arms of Edward IV. The design was created by Royal Mint artist Jody Clark and rendered with sharp relief and fine detail characteristic of the Queen's Beast series. The composition is framed by inscriptions noting the coin's denomination, weight, purity, and the series designation.
The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which has appeared on British coinage since 2015. The portrait is encircled by the standard sovereign inscription identifying the issuing monarch. Throughout the coin, the Brilliant Uncirculated finish preserves the crispness of the strike, with well-defined field surfaces and finely detailed relief elements that reward close examination.
At 1/4 troy ounce, this coin sits at a price point that allows buyers to acquire Royal Mint gold without committing to a full ounce at once. Fractional gold of this format is practical for those building a position incrementally or those who prefer smaller denominations for the purpose of gifting or more precise allocation. The smaller physical size does not compromise the design quality or the .9999 purity standard that defines the Queen's Beast series.
Fractional sovereign coins also tend to command slightly higher premiums per ounce than their full-ounce counterparts, which reflects the additional minting cost relative to the metal content. Understanding this dynamic upfront helps buyers make well-informed decisions when comparing fractional options across the Queen's Beast lineup or against other Royal Mint products.
The Royal Mint produces the Queen's Beast series to exacting tolerances, with each coin struck to a confirmed weight of 1/4 troy ounce and a fineness of .9999. The mint's long-standing reputation within the sovereign coinage world is built on consistent adherence to these standards across large production runs. As a government-operated institution producing legal tender coinage, The Royal Mint operates under oversight that reinforces the integrity of every coin it strikes.
We carry this coin as an authorized dealer operating within the established precious metals distribution network, and every product we offer is verified for authenticity and condition before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC provide additional resources for grading and authentication when buyers require a third-party assessment of a coin's condition or provenance.
Brilliant Uncirculated denotes a coin that has been struck for collector and bullion purposes and never placed into general circulation. The surfaces retain their original mint character, with sharp detail and no wear. Minor handling marks can occasionally be present on BU coins due to the minting and packaging process, but these are consistent with the grade and do not indicate a deficiency in the coin itself.
Individual coins are shipped in protective plastic flips to prevent contact damage during transit. When purchased in tube quantities, the coins ship together in a sealed tube, which is the standard packaging format for Queen's Beast fractional coins from The Royal Mint. Larger quantity orders are accommodated in sealed boxes. Packaging is selected to preserve the coin's condition from the point of fulfillment through delivery.
The price of the White Lion 1/4 oz gold coin moves in direct relation to the spot price of gold, with a premium added above spot to reflect minting costs, distribution, and the demand characteristics associated with a named Royal Mint series. Queen's Beast coins have historically maintained stronger premiums than many generic fractional gold options, driven by the collector following the series has built and the finite nature of each individual design within the ten-coin program.
Our pricing reflects live market conditions and is structured to remain transparent rather than obscure. The premium you see is a function of real supply and demand dynamics, not an arbitrary markup. We display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership with clarity, not just the acquisition price in isolation.
The Queen's Beast series carries strong global name recognition, and individual coins from the program trade actively in both the collector and bullion secondary markets. The combination of Royal Mint issuance, legal tender status, and a well-established collector base contributes to the coin's liquidity relative to generic fractional gold alternatives. The 1/4 oz format is widely understood and easy to verify, which supports straightforward resale transactions.
We operate as a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Liquidity is a factor worth considering before a purchase is made, not only when it comes time to sell. Our competitive buyback pricing reflects our commitment to being a reliable counterparty at both ends of the transaction.
The White Lion of Mortimer represents one of the more visually compelling releases within the Queen's Beast program, with a design that draws directly from British royal heraldry. Because the series has concluded, individual coins like this one are no longer in active production, which adds a layer of scarcity that distinguishes them from ongoing programs. Buyers who missed earlier releases or who are completing their collection have a finite window to acquire each design at current market pricing.
From a practical standpoint, the coin delivers .9999 fine gold in a government-issued, legally recognized format that is broadly accepted in bullion markets worldwide. The 1/4 oz size offers meaningful metal content in a compact denomination that fits a range of acquisition strategies. For buyers who prioritize both recognized issuance and design quality, the Queen's Beast White Lion delivers both within a single product.
We built this platform around the belief that buyers deserve a straightforward, transparent experience when purchasing physical precious metals. That means pricing that reflects real market conditions, honest representation of what you are buying, and a buying process that does not rely on pressure or obscured costs. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to assist customers who want professional grading or certification for their coins. Our product catalog is sourced from reputable mints, refineries, and established wholesale distributors, and every item is verified before it ships. We back this up with responsive customer support and reliable fulfillment, because the experience after the purchase matters as much as the one before it.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across the precious metals catalog, including Queen's Beast coins and other Royal Mint products. Rather than relying on static retail price displays, Pro members can see how this coin is priced and traded at the wholesale level in real time, with portfolio valuation driven by current wholesale bid prices rather than estimated retail figures. This gives a more accurate picture of what your holdings are actually worth under current market conditions.
Pro also includes proprietary research tools that allow you to evaluate this coin alongside comparable fractional gold products using objective metrics such as premiums, historical premium trends, bid/ask spread tightness, and liquidity data. For buyers who want to understand how the White Lion 1/4 oz compares to other Royal Mint fractional coins or alternative sovereign gold options, these tools provide the kind of structured, data-driven context that is rarely available in a traditional retail dealer environment.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process as convenient as possible regardless of how you prefer to transact. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, along with PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay. Each method is handled through a secure transaction environment designed to protect your payment information and give you confidence at every step of the checkout process.
