We are excited to announce the release of the third coin in the Tudor Beast series – The Bull of Clarence – available in 1oz Gold and 2oz Silver. We believe that the change of monarch, early through this series, raised a great deal of speculation about which direction the Royal Mint would take the collection.
When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away, just before the second coin was due to be released, The Royal Mint played their cards very close. This kept us guessing for a while…
We are delighted with their decision to continue with King Charles III who now features on this latest addition as now customers can commit to this collection with confidence. This series is definitely one for the history books.
The Tudor Beast series brings to life the heraldic creatures associated with the Tudor dynasty. Each beast represents a symbol of power, strength and royal heritage.
The Bull of Clarence Coin Design
The design features David Lawrence‘s depiction of a mighty bull. With its magnificent horns and robust regal appearance, the bull exudes a sense of authority and power.
The bull holds a shield that features the Tudor Rose—signifying the marriage between Henry VII and Elizabeth of York and uniting the House of Lancaster and the House of York.
On the obverse features Martin Jennings’ effigy of King Charles III for the first time in the series. It also signifies the coin’s status as legal tender (capital gains tax exempt) in the UK.

The History of The Tudor Beasts
The Royal Tudor Beasts bullion coin collection draws inspiration from the ten majestic beasts that line the approach to Hampton Court Palace. These stone sentinels celebrate the marriage of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour and make a powerful statement of Tudor power.
Each coin in the collection features a different creature, representing the power and majesty of the ruling house. Following the Lion of England and Yale of Beaufort, the third coin in the collection features the Bull of Clarence.
During the fifteenth century, the Black Bull of Clarence symbolised the rise of the House of York. The bull, an ancient symbol of strength and wealth, was selected as one of the King’s Beasts to emphasise Henry VIII’s ancestral links to the powerful Yorkist dynasty.
