When Her Majesty The Queen was crowned on 2 June 1953, ten statues were created to form a guard of honour at the entrance to Westminster Abbey. The Queen’s Beasts Coin Collection breathes new life into these mighty creatures that represent the British monarchy.

 

The Griffin of Edward III is the tenth coin of The Queen’s Beast Series. Designer, Jody Clark has captured the power of this majestic creature in a dramatic design that blends fantasy and realism. Part lion and part eagle, the griffin combines the characteristics of the king of the beasts and the air to create a creature more powerful than either. Appearing in English heraldry from the twelfth century onwards, it was elevated to royal status by Edward III – the epitome of medieval English kingship and founder of the Order of the Garter based at Windsor Castle. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of beloved British Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
