Invest in the 2018 Great Britain 10 oz Silver Queen's Beast (Griffin) Coin and add a stunning piece to your collection. This highly anticipated release from the Queen's Beasts series is now available for purchase. The Queen's Beasts series, introduced by the British Royal Mint in 2016, features ten heraldic beasts that stood at the Queen's coronation in 1953. Each coin in the series showcases one of these beasts, along with a badge of arms associated with Her Majesty's ancestry. The first coin in the series was the "Lion of England," followed by the "Griffin of Edward III" and the "Red Dragon of Wales." The 2018 Great Britain 10 oz Silver Griffin Coin is a tribute to the past and present monarchy. These heraldic beasts represent the ten that flanked the entrance of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. They connect her reign to that of King Henry VII, whose moat at Hampton Court Palace still features these same beasts. Designed by Jody Clark, the griffin depicted on this coin was the private seal of Edward III. With the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, the griffin is the king of beasts two times over.
