At the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen, 10 heraldic beasts stood guard. The Queen’s Beasts, sculpted by James Woodford RA for the coronation ceremony held in Westminster Abbey in 1953, stand six feet tall. The heraldic creatures symbolized the various strands of royal ancestry brought together in a young woman about to be crowned queen. Each proud beast, used as a heraldic badge by generations that went before her, was inspired by the King’s Beasts of Henry VIII that still line the bridge over the moat at his Hampton Court Palace.
Today, The Queen’s Beasts can be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while Portland stone replicas, also carved by James Woodford, watch over Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom. But these mythical, ancient creatures – lions, griffin, falcon, bull, yale, greyhound, dragon, unicorn and horse – have gone on to inspire the highly-praised new talent, Royal Mint Coin Designer Jody Clark.
The Lion of England Queen's Beast is the crowned golden lion of England which has been one of the supporters of the Royal Arms since the accession of James I in 1603. It is supporting a shield showing the Arms of the United Kingdom as they have been since Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837. In the first and last quarters of the shield are the lions of England. The lion and treasure of Scotland appear in the second, and the harp of Ireland is in the third.
The Barbary lion is a national animal of England. Lion was the nickname of England's medieval warrior rulers with a reputation for bravery, such as Richard I of England, known as Richard the Lionheart. Lions are frequently depicted in English heraldry, either as a device on shields themselves, or as supporters. They also appear in sculpture, and sites of national importance, such as Trafalgar Square. The lion is used as a symbol of English sporting teams, such as the England national cricket team.

I've recently become aware of the Queens Beasts series collection. I liked the shiney polished mirror like accents on the silver Brittanias. I searched APMEX and saw the 9999 silver Queens Beasts. Love at first sight! This coin is beautiful and my favorite! I've bought all 7 five oz. coins currently available. I can't wait to get the last 3 in the series. APMEX is my go to dealer!!!

Nice coins with a reasonable premium. Don't get the Coin Safe 39mm capsules though. The perimeter of these coins are jagged and they don't fit snug to the capsule. The capsules will break.

I ordered ten of these coins expecting that they will be in a tube. APMEX placed them on thin individual flimsy plastic bags (not even standard plastic flips for coins) and they arrived damaged and dinged at the edges since they are thick and heavy coins. Now I can probably only sell them at melt value of silver! Go buy somewhere else where they could give you a tube for these coins!
- Pros
- Attractive Design
- Cons
- Hard to Sell
- Bottom Line
- No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We are very sorry to hear of the condition in which the 10 coins arrived. We will follow up with you shortly to further assist.
