The Bull of Clarence, an emblematic representation of a bull, traces its origins back to the House of York—a central player in the 15th-century Wars of the Roses. This symbol is closely associated with Lionel of Antwerp, the third son of Edward III, who held the esteemed title of Duke of Clarence.
The obverse features a portrayal of King Charles III, showcasing the monarch in a left-profile relief sans a crown. This poignant depiction, sculpted by Martin Jennings in late 2022, captures the essence of His Majesty.
Turning to the reverse field reveals a striking representation of the titular beast. The Bull of Clarence held great significance during the Wars of the Roses—a sequence of civil conflicts between the Houses of Lancaster and York in pursuit of the English throne. The emblem was particularly prominent as the House of York, characterized by its white rose emblem, employed both the Bull of Clarence and the white rose to symbolize their cause.
