1oz Gold Coin — Graded MS68+

The 2023 Bull of Clarence represents the third release in The Royal Mint’s Royal Tudor Beasts collection — a sovereign bullion series inspired by the ten heraldic sculptures that stand along the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace.

The Bull of Clarence originates from the House of York and was prominently associated with King Edward IV. As a heraldic emblem, it symbolises strength, legitimacy and dynastic authority. Its place within the Tudor narrative reflects the historic unification of the Houses of York and Lancaster — a defining chapter in the formation of the English crown.

Struck in one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, this graded example combines sovereign-backed purity with independent certification. Graded MS68+, it confirms exceptional mint-state quality with strong strike detail and superior surface preservation.

The 2023 issue also carries the first official bullion portrait of King Charles III, marking a significant transition in modern British coinage and adding further historical relevance to the release.
