| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the Yale of Beaufort, one of the ten heraldic Queen's Beasts, rendered in dynamic high relief by engraver David Lawrence. The mythical creature — a spotted, antelope-like beast with swivelling horns — is shown rampant, supporting with its forefeet a heraldic shield bearing the quartered royal arms of England (lions passant guardant) and France (fleurs-de-lis). The beast wears a jewelled collar with a chain, its spotted body and leonine tail rendered with exceptional sculptural detail. The legend YALE OF BEAUFORT arcs across the upper field, flanked by two pellets at the lower sides, with the date 2023 prominently displayed in the exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Yale of Beaufort — a mythical beast with a spotted coat, swiveling horns, and tusks — enters the Queen's Beasts series here as one of ten heraldic supporters drawn from the Tudor and royal heraldic tradition. Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, used it as a personal badge, and it passed into the royal heraldic canon through the Tudor succession. This piedfort doubles the standard bullion blank's thickness, a format revived by the Royal Mint in the 1980s for collector issues after centuries of dormancy as proof-of-die strike.
Struck posthumously following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, this is among the first Royal Mint gold issues to carry her effigy under the new posthumous designation.
