The"Queen's Beasts Coin Series": The Lion of England:
The Royal Mint, UK began on 29.03.2016, a new Coin Series titled "The Queen's Beasts" featuring both mythical and real beasts that have featured on British heraldry over the last five centuries.
Spanning back to the reign of King Henry VIII, "The King’s Beasts" are a group of creatures that symbolize the various strands of royal ancestry brought together as a heraldic badge.
This Coin series will include all ten of these creatures, which recall hundreds of years of British royal heraldry and will showcase one ‘beast’ at a time.

This Coin series will include all ten of these creatures, which recall hundreds of years of British royal heraldry and will showcase one ‘beast’ at a time.
The first coin to be issued in the series of ten £5 coins is the Lion of England. The Lion along with the Unicorn of Scotland is are the supporters of the Royal Arms – the Royal badge that represents the monarchy and the United Kingdom (Royal Arms are the arms of the monarch, an ancient symbolism that represents their sovereignty).The pair - Lion and Unicorn - are seen in many everyday places, including on British passports.
The Lion of England, a classic symbol of strength in British heraldry, leads the pack for this new bullion coin series.
The crowned golden Lion of England has been one of the supporters of the Royal Arms since King James I came to the throne in 1603, but the symbol of a lion has stood for England far longer. Richard the Lionheart, son of King Henry II, established three golden lions as the Royal Arms of England, and lions have appeared on the Coat of Arms of every British sovereign since the 12th century.
The Queen's beasts present day:
At the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, ten heraldic beasts stood guard. They were sculpted by James Woodford RA for the coronation ceremony held in Westminster Abbey in 1953, and each stands six feet tall.
Each proud beast, used as a heraldic badge by generations that went before her, was inspired by the King's Beasts of Henry VIII that still line the bridge over the moat at his Hampton Court Palace.
Presently, the Queen's Beasts can be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while Portland stone replicas, also carved by James Woodford, watch over Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom.
These mythical and ancient creatures include - the Lion of England, Griffin of Edward III, Falcon of the Plantagenets, Black Bull of Clarence, Yale of Beauforts, White Greyhound of Richmond, Red Dragon of Wales, Unicorn of Scotland, White Lion of Mortimer and White Horse of Hanover.
The introduction of the “Queen’s Beasts” Coins brings an exciting new series of bullion coins to collectors/numismatists around the world.
