Product Description

At the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, ten heraldic beasts stood guard at the entrance to Westminster Abbey. Sculpted by James Woodford RA, they inspired The Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts bullion range, which began in 2016.

About the White Horse of Hanover

The white horse became part of the royal story when the British throne passed to George of Hanover in 1714.

On the coin, the horse holds a shield showing the three lions of England, the lion of Scotland, the fleur-de-lis of France, the Irish harp and the Arms of Hanover.

The design

Jody Clark designed both sides of the coin. The background has a chain mail texture, which acts as a security feature.

The obverse shows Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with the £5 face value. The White Horse of Hanover arrived in 2020, alongside the White Lion of Mortimer.

What to expect from a pre-owned coin

As a pre-owned coin, it may carry light marks from handling. These are normal for bullion that has changed hands, and they don't affect the silver inside.

Packaging

Your coin arrives in its original capsule. Being pre-owned, the capsule will likely show signs of wear.

For collectors working through the Queen's Beasts range, this coin adds the White Horse of Hanover to the set.

Delivery Information

We post every order by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured and tracked until it reaches you.

Orders placed before 1pm on a weekday are usually dispatched the same day, as long as the coin is in stock. Stock of pre-owned coins changes often, and each one is checked before it's sent.

You can also save on postage with Click & Collect. Choose it at checkout and we'll hold your order at our Royal Wootton Bassett branch, then email you once it's ready. Bring official photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport.

We accept UK debit cards and bank transfers, but not credit cards. For bigger orders, we may ask you to pay by bank transfer before we dispatch.

Please note that we supply UK customers only.

Investing Information

VAT on pre-owned silver

There's no VAT exemption for silver in the UK. This coin is pre-owned, though, so it falls under the VAT margin scheme. You only pay VAT on our margin, which often makes it cheaper than an equivalent new coin.

No Capital Gains Tax for UK residents

The coin is legal tender in the UK. If you're a UK resident, any gain you make when selling it is exempt from Capital Gains Tax.

Resale

Its fine silver content is easy for dealers to value, and its place in the Queen's Beasts range may catch the eye of collectors.

Financial advice

We can tell you the facts about tax on this coin, but we're not able to offer personal financial advice. Please research carefully and take professional advice if you need it before investing.
