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.

This box is beautiful inside and out. I ordered it to place 10 10 ounce silver coins in to show off when needed. I placed top shelf in and they fit nicely. However when I closed box to put away all the coins inside sounded like PLINKO. The coins fit snugly just not enough to upright the box.

This custom case for the 10oz beasts is perfect to hold the set in. The only detraction is I have added some pads to keep the coins from slipping out of their recesses if you tip this box on its side. I wish it came in a fitted cardboard box for storage and to protect it, but this is a great display box, especially for the price.

It’s a very nice box, but I do agree that the fit could’ve been better. So far the 4 coins available in 10 oz have a bit of space that will allow them to move around a bit. The box itself is high quality and very attractive.

It's a heavily constructed best way to store the 10oz beasts. Agree with the other comments that the coins can come out and there needs to be padding added if you store this on its side. But not a big issue to add as I used a couple sheets of cell packing, so this is an impressive storage/display box for the price.
