Part lion and part eagle, the griffin combines the characteristics of
the king of the beasts and the air to create a creature more powerful
than either. Appearing in English heraldry from the twelfth century
onwards, it was elevated to royal status by Edward III – the epitome of
medieval English kingship and founder of the Order of the Garter based
at Windsor Castle.
Recast on a coin, the Griffin of Edward III completes the line-up of
ten heraldic beasts present at Her Majesty The Queen’s coronation in
1953. Acclaimed artist Jody Clark captures the power of this majestic
creature in a dramatic design that blends fantasy and realism, a
signature of this collection. Available in limited-edition gold and
silver Proof editions, as well as a Brilliant Uncirculated edition, The
Queen’s Beasts now stand together as one – a formidable phalanx of
ancestral creatures drawn from centuries of royal history.
