When Her Majesty The Queen was crowned in 1953, ten statues stood guard at her coronation in Westminster Abbey, fierce royal protectors called The Queens Beasts. They represented centuries of history and heritage that were passed on to Her Majesty that day. Now, 65 years later, The Queens Beasts Collection from The Royal Mint explores these ten heraldic guardians, what they stand for and the monarchs they have represented through the ages. Each beast has its own story to tell and the seventh release celebrates the magnificent White Lion of Mortimer.

The White Lion of Mortimer descended to the Queen through Edward IV. The shield shows a white rose encircled by a sun, known as white rose en soleil. Both of these appear on the Great Seals of Edward IV and Richard III, and were used by George VI while Duke of York. The White Lion is uncrowned, unlike the Lion of England.
