[Historical Background - What is the Queen's Beast?]
At the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, ten giant heraldic beasts lined the entrance to Westminster Abbey.
These were approximately 6ft tall sculptures by James Woodford RA, and symbolised the Queen's royal lineage and history.
These heraldic beasts date back even further to the "King's Beasts" that were displayed at Hampton Court Palace during the reign of Henry VIII.
Building on this historical theme, the Royal Mint has recreated 10 mythical and heraldic animals as a series of silver and gold coins.

[Meaning of the Plantagenet Falcon]
The falcon is a symbol of royalty that has been passed down from Edward IV to Elizabeth II.
• Represented the Plantagenet dynasty
• Symbolizes the legitimacy of succession to the throne
• It indicates the strength of the monarchy and the stability of the government.
The "open fetterlock" depicted on the shield signifies the opening of the royal gates, i.e., the rightful succession to the throne.
This symbol was later inherited by Henry VIII and remained an important royal emblem during the Tudor period.
