Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse depicts the Black Bull of Clarence, one of the ten heraldic Queen's Beasts, shown as a powerful, passant guardant bull rendered in high relief supporting a shield of arms associated with Edward IV and Richard III, as well as the sovereigns of the Houses of Lancaster and Tudor. The beast is portrayed with bold sculptural detailing, conveying strength and heraldic authority. The inscription '· 2018 · BLACK BULL OF CLARENCE' arcs around the design, with the engraver's initials 'JC' incorporated into the field. The composition reflects the Royal Mint's acclaimed Queen's Beasts series celebrating the heraldic heritage of the British monarchy.

Aanvullende informatie

The Black Bull of Clarence was one of ten heraldic beasts reproduced for the Queen's Beasts series, drawn from the sculpted figures that flanked the Queen's coronation throne in Westminster Abbey in 1953. sculptor Jody Clark's kilo silver pieces in this series pushed the Royal Mint into genuinely large-format commemorative territory, with the 100mm diameter demanding specialized planchet production that differs substantially from standard proof coinage processes.

The bull itself derives from the arms of Richard, Duke of York — father of Edward IV — and entered royal heraldry through the Yorkist line.
