2020 1 oz Queen’s Beasts White Falcon Platinum Coin

2020 1 oz Queen’s Beasts White Falcon Platinum Coin

For those who appreciate diversifying their precious metals with varied bullion, sovereign platinum coins may be a more exciting way to do it.

Sovereign coins usually carry their nation’s history stamped on their surfaces, making them breathtaking collections.

Platinum Coins from the British Royal Mint are a must-have item. They stamp the Royal Monarchy on the obverse and a meaningful motif on the reverse side.

The Queen Beasts Series, for example, showcases some of the most emblematic Coat of Arms used over English Royal history imprinted in 1 oz coins of 999.5 pure platinum. Indeed, an incredible acquisition.

Coin Highlights

• Contains 1 oz of .9995 pure platinum;
• Bears a £100 face value, backed by Great Britain;
• 6th issue of the Queen’s Beasts Series;
• Produced by the British Royal Mint;
• The obverse features former Queen Elizabeth II's last effigy;
• The reverse showcases King Edward III’s white falcon.

The Design

The obverse design is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. It is Her Majesty’s fifth official portrait, signed by Jody Clark. Encircling the image, the inscriptions read: “100 POUNDS” regarding the coin’s face value, “ELIZABETH II,” and the initials “D.G.REG.F.D,” which in Latin means “By the grace of God, Queen.” 

King Edward III’s white falcon is featured on the reverse side with open wings perched on the shield. The coin’s primary information regarding weight, metal content, purity, and year of issuance surrounds the image through “1 oz,” “FINE PLATINUM,” “9995,” and “2020”. 

The reference to “FALCON OF THE PLANTAGENETS” corresponds to one of the longest-reigning houses in English history, which began when King Henry II ascended to the throne in 1154.

The Queen’s Beasts Collection

The Series was released in 2015 to exhibit the ten heraldic beasts sculpted for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. These beasts represent some of England and Scotland's most important royal arms.

The collection comprises five different sizes of gold, silver, and platinum coins. Platinum was only included in the series in 2017, though.
