2020 1/4oz gold White Lion of Mortimer is the eighth of a series of ten from the "Queen's Beasts" range of Royal Mint coins.
The Queen's Beasts are ten statues which stood guard for the Queen's Coronation, sculpted by James Woodford RA in 1953. The Queen's Beasts are still standing, but are currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, Canada. Stone replicas of the statues can be found at Kew Gardens.
The White Lion of Mortimer is another beast inherited by the Queen from Edward IV of the House of York, and it was a favoured symbol of King George VI - Queen Elizabeth II's father - prior to his coronation.
The Mortimer lion has no crown and has a blue tongue. This lion also sits, rather than rearing up, and holds a Yorkist shield bearing a 'white rose en soleil' (golden sun) on a half-and-half background.
The quarter ounce £25 White Lion of Mortimer coin will be exempt of any Capital Gains Tax when you are ready to sell. As a graded coin this will be perfect for collectors looking for a prime example of this popular series of coins.

Graded Coins - Market conditions can significantly affect the secondary market value of coins and you may not get back what you paid. Market conditions include the underlying metal price, collector tastes, and changes to the population / availability of the coin. These can affect the value of the coin and can push prices back towards the intrinsic bullion value of the metal.
