2021 Queen's Beasts Griffin Of Edward III One Kilogram Silver Proof Coin
The final individual design in The Royal Mint’s Queen’s Beasts series, inspired by the heraldic creatures that populate the coats of arms of Her Majesty’s royal and noble ancestors. A runaway success for The Royal Mint, their beastly coin series included ten designs, plus a ‘completer’, released between 2016 and 2021. The Griffin - known for guarding treasure - was an important symbol to medieval king Edward III whose birthplace, Windsor Castle, appears on the shield clutched in the beast’s talons. Jody Clark is the artist behind this design as well as the obverse portrait of Her Majesty the Queen. This 1,005 gram coin is struck in 999 silver to proof standard and has a face value of £500. It’s presented in its original bespoke packaging from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity and an information booklet. Only 70 of these one kilogram silver proof Griffin of Edward III coins were issued in 2021: the penultimate design in the popular series.
