The Queen's Beasts 2021 Gold Proof Kilo Die Trial Piece
• Concludes the hugely popular Queen's Beasts collection
• The die's large diameter provides an impressive canvas for both Jody Clark's obverse and reverse designs
• Struck in 999 fine gold
• Commemorates Her Majesty The Queen's remarkable reign
Condition: Obverse, dull area on Queen's cheek. Reverse, tiny marks by Bull's neck and Falcon's wing.
On 2 June 1953, the world witnessed a spectacular display of pageantry reserved for the grandest state occasion. As Her Majesty The Queen arrived at Westminster Abbey to be crowned before the nation, statues of ten heraldic beasts formed a ceremonial guard of honour. Drawn from centuries of British history, these formidable royal guardians were chosen to represent the legitimacy of the rightful heir to the throne. The Queen's Beasts Collection showcases the history and symbolism of each of these creatures in turn. Our line-up of coronation beasts is now complete but the celebrations continue with a special design presenting all ten beasts together in one design.
