| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a proud falcon displayed, perched and clutching in its talons the personal heraldic badge of Edward IV — the White Falcon within a fetterlock, rendered open to signify the Yorkist claim to the throne. The bird is depicted with exceptional sculptural detail in the proof finish, its feathers finely struck against a polished field. This is the fifth issue in the Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts series, celebrating the heraldic supporters that flanked the Queen's throne at her 1953 coronation. The date and inscription are arranged around the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Falcon of the Plantagenets is one of the Queen's Beasts series, a ten-piece program the Royal Mint launched in 2016 to coincide with Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, drawing on the heraldic supporters that flanked the young queen's throne at her 1953 coronation. The original beasts at Westminster Abbey were carved in plaster by sculptor James Woodford — temporary, deliberately so, and most were destroyed after the ceremony.
The falcon itself derives from the white falcon used by Edward III and subsequent Plantagenet kings, a badge with continuous heraldic use stretching back to the fourteenth century.
