| Reverse description | A bold, heraldically styled White Falcon of the Plantagenets perched and clutching in its talons the personal badge of Edward IV — a smaller white falcon gripping an open fetterlock. The design is executed in sharp relief appropriate to the piedfort format, with the falcon rendered in dynamic detail conveying both power and regality. The inscription FALCON OF THE PLANTAGENETS arcs around the design, flanked by the date 2019 and the engraver's initials JC. This issue forms part of the Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts series. |
