Comments

The eleventh design in The Queen's Beasts series, which brings together all ten Beasts for the first time, from the Lion of England in 2016 to the Griffin of Edward III in 2021. The 10 Beasts are a representation of the statues that stood in Westminster Abbey for The Queen's Coronation in 1953. The statues are now on display in the Canadian Museum of History.

There are various Queen's Beasts Completer coins issued with differing metals and denominations, which all share Jody Clark's design.
