🏰 Historical & Artistic Significance:

The White Lion of Mortimer traces its lineage to King Edward IV, symbolizing loyalty and royal legitimacy. Unlike the crowned Lion of England, this lion is uncrowned, seated with its tail between its legs—a pose reflecting discipline and allegiance.

  • Shield Emblem: Features the white rose en soleil—a white rose encircled by a golden sun—used by Edward IV and Richard III, and later adopted by King George VI.
  • Designer: Jody Clark, acclaimed Royal Mint artist behind both the obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the entire Queen’s Beasts series.
  • Obverse: Fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark
  • Reverse: Rampant White Lion clutching the Mortimer shield, rendered with Clark’s signature guilloché background for added depth and elegance.

📦 Mintage & Rarity:

  • Total Mintage: Estimated at unknown, but production ceased with the release of the next beast, enhancing scarcity.
  • Series Popularity: The Queen’s Beasts series has become a cornerstone of modern British numismatics, with early releases commanding strong premiums in perfect grade condition.

💎 Collector Appeal:

This coin is a prime candidate for grading, with flawless surfaces and untouched luster. Its historical symbolism, artistic pedigree, and limited availability make it a standout piece for collectors of royal heraldry, British silver, or modern numismatic artistry.

📬 Ships securely: 

Airtight in its original mint-sealed packaging. Ideal for grading submission or long-term preservation.
