The Edward III Griffin coin is part of the Queen’s Beasts collection, issued by the Royal Mint. This prestigious series commemorates the ten heraldic beasts of the British monarchy, symbolizing the strength and history of the kingdom. The griffin, half eagle, half lion, represents both wisdom and power—qualities attributed to King Edward III, who made this symbol central to his coat of arms. The Griffin coin attracts investors and collectors, offering both historical and artistic value. Struck from pure gold, it is not only a symbol of royal heritage but also a sound investment.
The obverse of the coin, featuring a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, bears an exquisitely crafted portrait by Jody Clark, surrounded by the face value and markings that emphasize its royal character. The reverse features a majestic Griffin—a mythical beast in a sentinel pose, holding a heraldic shield bearing the symbols of Edward III. The figure of the Griffin, with its distinctive wings and claws, contrasts with the matte background, which enhances its majesty and symbolism of courage. The characteristic eagle’s head further exudes vigilance and determination.
This gold coin is part of the prestigious "The Queen's Beasts" collector's series, issued by the British Royal Mint. The series draws on the heraldic beasts that have symbolized the power, tradition, and history of the British monarchy. It was inspired by mythical and historical animals that symbolize the lineage and influence of British monarchs.
The griffin, one of the most recognizable figures in heraldry, has a long history in both art and mythology. It is a combination of a lion and an eagle, symbolizing courage, strength, and vigilance. In mythology, it is often regarded as a guardian of treasures, which further underscores its role in heraldry as a guardian of values and traditions. In British heraldry, the griffin is associated, among other things, with the line of Edward III, who founded the Order of the Garter. This symbol also appears on various emblems and coats of arms associated with British monarchs, emphasizing their power and authority.
