The PCGS 2023 Tudor Beast Yale of Beaufort 1/4oz Gold Coin design

On a 22mm coin, David Lawrence’s yale keeps all its detail: the boar’s tusks, the horned head and the shield it supports for Jane Seymour.

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

The chain mail background

Each beast sits on a background that resembles chain mail. The pattern carries surface animation, so it shifts as the coin is tilted: a nod to Tudor armour that also works as a security feature, because the effect is hard to reproduce.

PCGS grading of the 2023 Tudor Beast Yale of Beaufort 1/4oz Gold Coin

Fractional coins are handled more often than larger ones, so a sealed holder is a practical way to keep a quarter-ounce Yale in top condition.

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) is an independent grading company that authenticates coins, grades them on the 70-point Sheldon scale and seals them in a tamper-evident holder. Bullion coins are graded in Mint State (MS), and the label shows the coin’s date, denomination, grade and a unique certification number that can be checked on the PCGS website.

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 2023 Tudor Beast Yale of Beaufort 1/4oz Gold Coin?

The certified quarter-ounce Yale lets you build a graded Tudor Beasts set at a lower cost per coin.

It holds 7.78g of fine gold and keeps the full tax advantages of UK legal tender gold.

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.
