Modeled after the original statues that were created years before, under the reign of King Henry VIII, the statues served to protect and honor the young queen. Each coin in the Queen’s Beasts will feature: The Lion of England, The Griffin of Edward III, The White Greyhound of Richmond, The Yale of Beaufort, The Red Dragon of Wales, The White Horse of Hanover, The White Lion of Mortimer, The Unicorn of Scotland, The Black Bull of Clarence or The Falcon of the Plantagenets on its reverse.
As Queen Elizabeth continues her impressive reign as the longest ruling British monarch, she is appropriately honored on the obverse of each Queen’s Beast Silver Coin.
