2026 Alderney Silver & Gold King’s Beasts – Lion of England 2-pc Proof Set NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Jody Clark Signature

The First Release in Jody Clark’s King’s Beasts Series

Royal watchers are quick to recognize the United Kingdom’s four beloved heraldic beasts: England’s proud lion, Scotland’s mystical unicorn, Wales’s fiery red dragon, and the Irish Stag of Northern Ireland. They come together most famously on the Royal Coat of Arms, where the crowned English lion and the chained Scottish unicorn flank a shield rich with centuries of romance, rivalry, and royal history. In the hands of master coin designer Jody Clark, these four “King’s Beasts” have become something more, a four-part series that pays tribute to these iconic creatures in gleaming silver and gold.

Superb Portrayal of the Lion of England

Here you can secure a two-piece silver & gold set from the first release in the series, the Lion of England, struck by Great Britain’s prestigious Commonwealth Mint. The set consists of a legal-tender £2 coin struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and legal-tender £50 coin struck in a half ounce of 99.99% pure gold. The design portrays the lion as a magnificent and proud figure with a long flowing mane and eyes that would strike fear in the hearts of its enemies and instill confidence in its subjects and allies. Released on behalf of Alderney, a British Crown Dependency located among the Channel Islands, these superb coins also come in gorgeous cameo Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
