| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modeled in high relief with fine portrait detail capturing the King's mature features, rendered by sculptor Martin Jennings. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS · 2023, divided by pellet stops and arching around the upper and lower fields. The engraver's initials MJ appear discreetly below the truncation of the bust. The frosted portrait contrasts sharply against the deeply mirrored proof field, giving the coin its characteristic cameo appearance. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bull of Clarence is one of the ten heraldic beasts drawn from the supporters and crests of Henry VIII's lineage, first rendered monumentally in stone for the 1536 coronation procession of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London. The Royal Mint revived the series under Elizabeth II as the Queens Beasts between 2016 and 2021, and Charles III's accession prompted a continuation under new branding rather than a clean break — this issue belongs to that transitional moment when the Mint was actively retooling an ongoing commercial series around a new monarch.
The Bull of Clarence descends through Edward IV, whose claim to the Yorkist throne made it a charged dynastic symbol well before Tudor heralds pressed it into service.
