History and design
This is a collector version of the 5 Pounds - Elizabeth II – The Queen's Beasts Completer. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
Between 2017 and 2021 the Royal Mint issued a £5 crown for each of The Queen's Beasts, the ten heraldic statues sculpted by James Woodford RA that stood guard outside Westminster Abbey at the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. This coin closed the series by bringing all ten together.
The Royal Mint calls it the only coin in the collection to show the beasts and the monarch they represent in a single design, and its sales page files it under End of Series. The cupro-nickel coin was authorised by a royal proclamation given at Windsor Castle on 10 February 2021, which also covered gold, silver and platinum versions up to ten kilos.
The Brilliant Uncirculated coin came in fold-out packaging on the history of heraldry. The Royal Mint's 2021 sales page lists 19,116 coins and 11,472 in trade packaging, 30,588 in all. That is well ahead of the two individual beasts dated 2021: the Griffin of Edward III sold 18,995 and the White Greyhound of Richmond 17,184.
The proclamation describes the reverse as ten heraldic beasts encircling the Queen's effigy, with the inscription THE QUEEN'S BEASTS and the date. The Mint describes the beasts as a protective circle around the monarch.
Jody Clark designed both sides. He drew each of the beasts for the series, and the obverse carries his fifth definitive portrait of Elizabeth II with ELIZABETH II D G REG FID DEF 5 POUNDS, so the Queen appears on both faces of the coin. The edge is milled.
