The"Queen's Beasts Coin Series": The Unicorn of Scotland:
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.

The Unicorn of Scotland is the second creature to appear on the Royal Mint’s commemorative “Queen’s Beasts Coin Series” .
The unicorn sculpture created by renowned sculptor James Woodford (1893–1976) for the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II, held in Westminster Abbey in 1953.
James VI of Scotland became James I of England after he succeeded the childless Elizabeth I in 1603, thus uniting the thrones for the first time.
He took the Lion of England and one of the Scottish Unicorns as supporters for the Royal Arms, and they have remained in place ever since.
The origin of the unicorn as a regular supporter of the Scottish arms is obscured in the mist of time, but since the 15th century it has been associated with Scotland, where it was struck on gold coins called “unicorns” for their design of a unicorn supporting the Scottish shield.

The Unicorn of Scotland, milky-white in colour with golden hooves, horn, and mane, has always had a coronet around its neck like a collar, with a gold chain attached. The chains were symbolic representations of the "great beast" having been tamed to serve the King. As with most chained beasts in heraldry, its strength is emphasised rather than diminished by the shackles. The Unicorn holds the Royal coat of Scotland, with a red lion rampant (the most fierce stance) on a gold background as Supporters of the Arms, an image which has been unchanged since Alexander III.
The beasts and both real and mythical—including griffins, lions, dragons, and falcons, which have stood guard throughout hundreds of years of British royal heraldry—can be seen all around the Queen’s realm in some surprisingly ordinary places in the daily lives of Britons, from pub signs to passports and city badges to sport.
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 original 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, Unicorn of Scotland, Griffin of Edward III, Falcon of the Plantagenets, Black Bull of Clarence, Yale of Beauforts, White Greyhound of Richmond, Red Dragon of Wales, White Lion of Mortimer and White Horse of Hanover.
