| Additional information |
The Queen's Lion is one of the ten Heraldic Beasts drawn from the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II, where carved stone versions flanked the processional at Westminster Abbey. This bullion series has carried those beasts across multiple monarchs without interruption — the shift to Charles III's effigy required a new obverse die but changed nothing in the underlying series logic. The Royal Mint's quarter-ounce bullion format has tracked the gold spot market since the series relaunch in 2016, priced without numismatic premium at issue.
