The White Rose en Soleil is commonly used as one of the official badges of the Royal House of York.

The Lion is absent of the royal crown and is sitting in a more “tame” position.

The background of the coin contains the distinctive textured background that characterizes the Queen’s beast series.

The heraldic beast’s title encapsulates the image; it’s denomination, year of issue, and 9999 pure gold content.

The obverse contains the modern effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, with great attention to detail.

The Queen’s title and the denominational value encircle the effigy.
