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 White Horse of Hanover is a symbol that came to Her Majesty through her Hanoverian ancestors. In 1714 Georg Ludwig, ruler of the German duchy of Hanover, succeeded to the throne of Great Britain as George I. He brought with him the heraldry of the region including the device of a white horse on a red background. The shield the white horse is clutching shows the three lions of England, the lion of Scotland, the fleur-de-lis of France, the Irish harp and the Arms for Hanover.
 
Designer, Jody Clark captures a strong silhouette of the White Horse. It is portrayed facing to the right, keeping it distinct from its mythical relative the unicorn. Featuring a secure chainmail background, the realism of the White Horse of Hanover is displayed to its fullest. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of beloved British Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
