2026 1/4oz UK Tudor Beast 'Queen's Lion' Gold Coin

The 2026 1/4oz Tudor Beast 'Queen's Lion' Gold Coin is the latest release in The Royal Mint's celebrated Tudor Beasts series, honouring the majestic heraldic symbols that guarded the reign of England's Tudor monarchs. Struck in 999.9 fine gold and weighing a quarter of a troy ounce, this coin combines outstanding purity with a compact, accessible size that appeals to both seasoned investors and dedicated collectors across the UK. The Queen's Lion is one of the most iconic of the ten Tudor Beasts, drawing directly from the royal heraldry of the period. The Royal Mint's world-class craftsmanship is evident in the coin's intricate relief design, which faithfully captures the power and detail of this historic emblem. As with all Royal Mint bullion coins, it carries legal tender status in the United Kingdom, and as a gold coin it is exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK taxpayers — a significant consideration for those building a bullion portfolio. At a quarter-ounce weight, this coin offers a more affordable entry point into Royal Mint gold compared to full-ounce issues, while still holding strong appeal on the secondary market. Its 999.9 fine gold content ensures it meets international investment-grade standards, making it a sound choice for those looking to buy gold in the UK with confidence in both quality and provenance. Gold Pensions offers this coin with secure, fully insured delivery across the UK. Whether you are adding to an existing Tudor Beasts collection or purchasing fine gold for the first time, the 2026 1/4oz Queen's Lion coin represents a distinguished and tangible way to hold physical gold.
