The White Lion of England coin from the Queen’s Beasts series commemorates British heraldry and the history of the monarchy. The symbol of the White Lion originates from the coat of arms of King Edward IV of the House of York, who fought for the English throne during the War of the Roses in the 15th century. In 1953, for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, statues of ten heraldic beasts—including the White Lion—were erected to symbolize the royal heritage. The Royal Mint’s Queen’s Beasts series pays tribute to these historic symbols and their significance in British culture and identity.
