Historical Background
On June 2, 1953, Elizabeth II was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at Westminster Abbey. On this occasion, ten heraldic statues were placed in front of the entrance to the Abbey. They were designed by James Woodford. Each of them refers to figures or places historically important to the royal family. The statues were named the Queen's Beasts and to this day proudly guard the entrance to the Abbey.
Since 2016, The Royal Mint has been minting coins featuring the statues from Westminster Abbey. The series is called the Queen's Beasts.
