It remains the only coin in the series to unite the beasts with the monarch whose heritage they represent, and it set the pattern that the 2027 Royal Tudor Beasts Completer now follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten beasts stood guard outside Westminster Abbey at the Queen's coronation in 1953: the Lion of England, the Unicorn of Scotland, the Red Dragon of Wales, the Black Bull of Clarence, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, the Yale of Beaufort, the White Lion of Mortimer, the White Horse of Hanover, the White Greyhound of Richmond and the Griffin of Edward III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat MS69 means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMS (Mint State) is the grading scale for coins struck to a standard, uncirculated finish rather than a proof finish. On the 70-point scale, MS69 describes a coin with only the most minor imperfections under magnification: virtually indistinguishable from a 70 to the naked eye, without the premium a perfect grade carries. The NGC holder guarantees the coin's authenticity and grade, and its certificate number can be verified online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sides are the work of Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark, who designed every coin in the Queen's Beasts series as well as the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. As on all Queen's Beasts bullion coins, the reverse includes the coin's weight and fineness, and the portrait on the obverse is set against a finely textured background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMint\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Royal Mint, Llantrisant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDenomination\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e£100 UK legal tender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e999.9 fine gold (24 carat)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 troy oz (31.1 grams)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.69 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEdge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBullion (uncirculated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eObverse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJody Clark (Queen Elizabeth II, fifth portrait)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReverse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJody Clark (all ten Queen's Beasts)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNGC MS69\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNGC 8467801-006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a UK legal tender gold coin, it is exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents and is VAT-free investment gold.
