About this coin
The 2017 “Griffin of Edward III” – one ounce of 999.9 fine gold showcasing the formidable Griffin, guardian of the king’s legacy. Half lion, half eagle, this mythic creature represents courage, strength, and guardianship. Struck by The Royal Mint as part of the Queen’s Beasts series, the Griffin coin combines medieval symbolism with modern minting artistry — a heraldic masterpiece in gold.
About The Queen’s Beasts
The Queen’s Beasts series celebrates the ten heraldic beasts that stood guard at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Each beast represents part of the Queen’s ancestry, from the Lion of England and the Red Dragon of Wales to the Unicorn of Scotland and the White Greyhound of Richmond.
The Royal Mint released one beast at a time from 2016, finishing with a completer coin that brings all ten together. Struck in 999.9 fine gold and issued as UK legal tender, the coins are free of Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. The series is one of the most popular modern collections among investors and collectors alike.
