The 2016 1oz Gold Queen's Beasts bullion coin is the opening release in The Royal Mint's gold Queen's Beasts series. Struck in one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, it features Jody Clark's Lion of England reverse and marks the start of one of the most collected modern British bullion programmes. As the first gold beast in the run, it is a key anchor coin for collectors building the complete one-ounce gold set.
