| Reverse description | The White Horse of Hanover, rearing in a dynamic pose, supports a heraldic shield emblazoned with the arms of the House of Hanover. The composition is boldly rendered in high relief against a polished field, with the horse's musculature rendered in fine detail. Surrounding inscriptions identify the subject and the coin's bullion specifications. The engraver's initials 'JC' appear within the design, and the date '2021' is incorporated into the reverse legend. |

| Additional information |
The White Horse of Hanover entered British royal heraldry when George I acceded to the throne in 1714, bringing with him the symbols of his German electorate. It became one of the ten Queen's Beasts — a series drawn from the heraldic supporters flanking the young Elizabeth II's coronation throne in 1953, originally rendered as ten plaster statues by sculptor James Woodford for the Abbey ceremony. This platinum issue belongs to the Royal Mint's bullion strand of that programme, which ran alongside the collector-grade strikes in a format aimed squarely at investment buyers rather than cabinet collectors.
