Product Description
The Queen's Beasts series was introduced by The Royal Mint in 2016 and consists of ten designs, each representing a heraldic beast associated with the lineage of Queen Elizabeth II. The White Lion of Mortimer was the eighth release in the programme, issued in 2021. As with the other 10oz coins in the series, it contains ten troy ounces of 999.9 fine silver and is struck to the Mint's bullion standard.
The reverse, designed by Jody Clark, depicts the White Lion standing upright and supporting a shield. The shield includes the rose en soleil, a heraldic motif linked to Edward IV and the House of Mortimer. The background incorporates a chainmail-style texture that provides definition and improves resistance to the visual impact of minor surface marks. The inscriptions include the coin's weight, fineness and year of issue.
The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The monetary denomination of ten pounds is displayed around the border, along with the standard legend. The Queen's Beasts series is known for its consistent technical specifications across all releases, and the 2021 White Lion maintains the same dimensions and metal purity as previous issues.
These coins are supplied as pre-owned bullion pieces. While cosmetic condition can vary, the silver content and specifications remain exactly as issued by The Royal Mint.

Product Specification
Denomination Information
The Queen's Beasts coins take inspiration from the ten statues created for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Each beast represents an element of royal ancestry, combining historical heraldry with stylised animal forms. The White Lion of Mortimer traces its origins to the House of Mortimer and later to the Yorkist kings, including Edward IV.
The 10oz silver format was added to the Queen's Beasts bullion range to offer a larger alternative to standard one ounce coins. The increased diameter allows for greater clarity in the sculpted details, especially in designs with shields, armour and textured backgrounds. All coins in this series are struck in 999.9 fine silver and share the same specifications, making the range straightforward to collect across multiple releases.
