| Additional information |
The Falcon of the Plantagenets was adopted as a personal badge by Edward III in the fourteenth century and remained closely associated with the House of York — Richard III famously deployed it on his livery badges. Its inclusion in the Queen's Beasts series reflects the Tudor adoption of earlier Plantagenet heraldic vocabulary, a deliberate act of dynastic legitimacy-building by Henry VII after Bosworth.
This is the fifth release in the ten-coin Queen's Beasts programme, struck at 156.3 g in a series where the sheer metal content per coin made the complete set an unusually heavy commitment for collectors at issue price.
