The PCGS 2022 Tudor Beast Lion of England 1/4oz Gold Coin design

The quarter-ounce coin carries the same David Lawrence design as the 1oz on a 22mm flan: the crowned Lion of England with the shield of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, on the chain mail background.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse in Jody Clark’s portrait.

The Lion of England in heraldry

The lion has been a royal beast since the twelfth century and has appeared on the shield of England ever since. On the Moat Bridge it holds a shield with the impaled arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, the two coats of arms combined to show the strength of their union.

PCGS grading of the 2022 Tudor Beast Lion of England 1/4oz Gold Coin

Certification lets collectors own a graded example of the series opener without the cost of a full ounce.

PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, is a widely used independent coin-grading service. It verifies that a coin is genuine, assigns a grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale and encapsulates it in a sealed holder. Bullion coins are graded Mint State, abbreviated MS, with 70 the highest possible mark.

Grades vary between individual coins. You will receive the coin at the grade printed on its label, and product photographs are illustrative rather than of the exact coin. Contact our team if you need a particular grade.

Why buy a PCGS 2022 Tudor Beast Lion of England 1/4oz Gold Coin?

The certified quarter-ounce Lion is the most accessible way into a graded Tudor Beasts collection.

It still holds 7.78g of fine gold and keeps the CGT exemption of UK legal tender.

Why buy 1/4oz gold coins?

Quarter-ounce coins are a middle step for buyers who want more than a tenth of an ounce per coin without committing to a full ounce. They make regular purchases more manageable and give you finer control when selling, since you can release a small part of a holding. The trade-off is a higher premium per gram than larger coins, so they suit flexibility more than bulk buying.
