    One of the world’s oldest operating mints is Britain’s Royal Mint. Although its Britannia coins and British Sovereigns are its most popular products, a new series of exciting bullion coins are emerging to challenge these mainstays. The 2016 1 oz British Gold Queen’s Beast Coin is available today from JM Bullion with a near-perfect grade.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Ships to you in a protective plastic slab courtesy of the NGC.
    • 1st Release in a 10-coin series from the Royal Mint!
    • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.
    • Issued a face value £100 (GBP) by the British government.
    • Bears a grade of Mint State 69 from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
    • Obverse includes the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
    • Reverse bears the Heraldic Lion of England, one of the Queen’s Beasts.

    English heraldry represents the coat of arms for the nation, and all of the heraldic images of Britain share designs originally used in Greek and Roman pottery. The first Royal Coat of Arms in England was created by Henry II in 1154, and the idea gained further popularity among the knights of the first and second crusades as part of the concept of chivalry.

    In the exciting new Queen’s Beasts collection from the Royal Mint, The Lion coin is the first release in a planned 10-coin series. Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the British throne in 1952 following the death of her father, and a total of 10 beasts were represented in sculptures at her coronation in 1953.

    The first of those 6-foot tall statues was that of a lion, the official heraldic animal of the Royal Family and the first to feature in this series. Each 2016 1 oz British Gold Queen’s Beast Coin in this release has a design from Jody Clark, the youngest Royal Mint artist to recreate the Queen’s right-profile portrait.

    Each 2016 1 oz British Gold Queen’s Beast Coin in this product listing has a near-perfect Mint State 69 grade from the NGC. Coins in this condition exhibit their full, original mint luster, but also feature a maximum of two minor detracting flaws such as miniscule hairlines or contact marks.

    On the obverse of each Gold Queen’s Beast coin you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the latest release of Her Majesty’s portrait, and is new as of 2016. Created by 33-year-old Jody Clark, this depicts the Queen at her current age for use on commonwealth coins.

    The reverse of all 2016 1 oz British Gold Queen’s Beast Coins has an image of the royal lion, complete with a crown atop its head and the heraldic shield of Britain in front of it. Engravings identify the weight, purity, and metal content of the coin, along with its year of issue.

    Please feel free to contact JM Bullion. Our associates are available to answer questions at 800-276-6508, online using our live chat, and via email. Check out our full selection of British Gold Coins.

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.

    Do you offer UPS or FedEx shipping to Alaska and Hawaii?+

    No, we do not. The costs in shipping to these places is extremely prohibitive, so we utilize USPS on all shipments.
