Beschrijving keerzijde Central effigy of Queen Elizabeth II encircled by all ten heraldic Queen's Beasts in high-relief proof finish, representing the complete series of royal heraldic supporters. The ten beasts — including the Lion of England, the Griffin of Edward III, the Falcon of the Plantagenets, the Bull of Clarence, the Yale of Beaufort, the Greyhound of Richmond, the Dragon of Wales, the Unicorn of Scotland, the Horse of Hanover, and the Lion of Mortimer — are arranged symmetrically around the central portrait. The legend 'THE QUEEN'S BEASTS' arcs above, flanked by the engraver's initials 'JC', while the date '2021' appears below. This completer coin consolidates all ten beasts introduced across the Queen's Beasts bullion and collector series issued from 2016 onward.

Aanvullende informatie

The Queen's Beasts Completer coin closed out a ten-piece series that the Royal Mint ran from 2016 to 2021, each issue featuring one of the heraldic supporters historically associated with the British monarchy. The series drew heavily on the carved stone beasts commissioned for Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation at Westminster Abbey, which were themselves modeled on earlier armorial traditions stretching back to Henry VIII.

The Completer brought all ten beasts onto a single coin — a design decision that required sculptor Jody Clark to compress imagery that had previously occupied full individual flans. Four-nines gold at this weight is relatively uncommon in Royal Mint production; the standard Britannia runs at .9167.
