Royal Mint adds another platinum bullion coin to Queen’s Beasts series
The UK Royal Mint has expanded its Queen’s Beasts coin series with the debut of the 2021 White Lion of Mortimer.
The 1 oz platinum bullion coin brings the total number of platinum coins in the series to eight, with a further two in the Royal Mint’s pipeline.
The Queen’s Beasts series, now in its fifth year, was launched in recognition of Queen Elizabeth II becoming the world’s longest-serving monarch in 2016, having acceded to the throne 64 years previously, with coins in the series depicting the subject of heraldry, legend and legacy in a contemporary interpretation.
The 2021 1 oz platinum bullion coin design features the White Lion of Mortimer standing beside a shield bearing the distinctive white rose of the House of York. Both the coin’s obverse and reverse were created by iconic coin designer Jody Clark.
Commenting on the new 2021 White Lion of Mortimer 1 oz platinum bullion coin Royal Mint precious metals divisional director Andrew Dickey says that, in a year that has seen investors flock to own precious metals in the wake of the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Royal Mint is delighted to be adding to its range of platinum bullion products.
“Demand for our products this year has been unprecedented and we expect this strong interest to continue into next year.”
The launch of the 2021 White Lion of Mortimer is not the only platinum offering from the Royal Mint this year, which has also seen the release of its Royal Arms coin.
The Royal Mint’s 2021 1 oz platinum bullion coin from its Britannia series is due to launch on December 14.
