In a tradition dating back over 9 centuries, heraldic animals are attributed to the ancestors of the British Monarchy. Each beast represents a different royal ancestral line.
The Queen’s Beasts are a collection of 10 heraldic animals attributed to the House of Windsor. The 10 statues stood guard at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Each Beast features a coat of arms or shield that represents an ancestral family associated with the Queen. They trace back to the heraldic first beast, the Lion of England, attributed to King Edward I, ” the lionheart”.
The 2019 Queen’s Beast is struck in 1/4 oz of .9999 pure gold in a lustrous finish. The fifth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the obverse. An intricately detailed falcon with its wings outstretched is depicted on the reverse of the coin.
The featured 2019 Falcon of the Plantagenets 1/4 oz gold coin is absolutely remarkable. Each coin arrives in a new direct-fit capsule.
