Description

As part of Queen Elizabeth’s historic coronation, amid the elegance and pageantry, ten heraldic statues lined the western annex of Westminster Abbey. Each beast, which stood approximately 6 feet, bore a shield, which was representative and indicative of each branch of the Royal tree and its direct connection to the incumbent Queen. The grand affair was witnessed by more than 20 million people, with the Beasts taking center stage, inspiring a great deal of intrigue. In 2016, The Royal mint of England allowed people to get further acquainted with these mythical creatures, further immortalizing them on meticulously designed bullion coins. The Queen’s Beasts Collection is based on ten legendary creatures symbolizing the ancestry of Her Majesty The Queen.

The White Greyhound of Richmond was emblematic of King Edmund Tudor, the first Earl of Richmond, the unity of the red rose of Lancaster’s house, and the house’s White Rose of York, following the war of the roses.
