| 背面描述 | The reverse features a proud unicorn, the heraldic beast of Scotland, depicted passant and wearing a coronet around its neck from which a chain descends. The unicorn supports the Royal Badge of Scotland, a shield bearing the lion rampant, rendered with bold heraldic precision. Fine engraved detail captures the flowing mane and muscular form of the mythical creature against a plain, highly polished proof field. The inscription '·2017· UNICORN OF SCOTLAND' arcs around the design, accompanied by the engraver's initials 'JC'. This piece is the second release in the Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts series, celebrating the heraldic supporters of the British Crown. |

The Unicorn of Scotland is one of five "Queen's Beasts" drawn from the heraldic supporters flanking the shield at Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation. The Royal Mint's decision to issue the series in fractional gold alongside the full-ounce format was partly a response to sustained demand from Asian bullion markets, where smaller denominations in .9999 fine gold had been outselling larger strikes since the early 2010s.
In Scottish heraldry, the unicorn is traditionally depicted chained — a free unicorn was considered dangerously powerful.
