2020 Great Britain £100 1-oz Platinum Royal Arms Coin BU

A Heraldic Journey Through English History

With a history dating back to King Richard the Lionheart more than 800 years ago, the United Kingdom’s Royal Arms are rich with all the pomp and pageantry one would expect from a monarchy that has brought us such famous rulers as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II.

It’s no wonder that The Royal Mint selected the British monarchy’s historic and symbolic Royal Coat of Arms as the theme for a bullion series of coins. 2020 marks the second year of the series and each coin is a testament to the popularity and rich tradition that is symbolized by the Royal Family and its centuries-old crests, symbols and insignia that together are nothing short of a heraldic journey through English history.

Struck in one ounce of highly-pure 99.95% platinum, these legal-tender £100 (one hundred pounds) coins boldly display the Royal Arms – the official Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin’s design features a quartered shield bearing the three lions of England, the rampant lion of Scotland and the harp of Ireland. The shield is surmounted by the Royal Crown and supported by a crowned English Lion on one side and the Scottish Unicorn, held firmly in chains, on the other side.

Surrounding the shield is the inscription “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE” – the motto of the Order of the Garter, which translates to “shame on him who thinks evil of it.” Below is a rose, thistle and shamrock, representing England, Scotland and Ireland respectively. This contemporary version is unusual in that it also includes the leek of Wales, an onion-like root vegetable that has been worn by royal guards on Saint David’s Day since the days of the Tudor dynasty in honor of the patron saint of Wales.

At 32.69 mm in diameter, this gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) bullion coin deftly captures the illustrious history and majesty of the British monarchy in exquisite detail.
