Description
When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, the entrance to Westminster Abbey was guarded by ten fantastical creatures, The Queen's Beasts. Produced by The Royal Mint, this collection of ten 1oz gold coins is inspired by the ancestral beasts of heraldry, myth and legend that watched over The Queen throughout her extraordinary reign.
In heraldry, the falcon symbolises single-minded determination. First used by Edward III, the device was also employed by his grandson Richard II as a Royal Badge. Likewise, Richard’s uncles employed falcons as motifs. The device became particularly associated with the House of York.
Struck in 24 carat gold (99.99% fine gold) and being exempt from both Capital Gains Tax and VAT, makes the Queen's Beasts 2019 a popular choice amongst UK investors.
