The heraldic beasts of England tell the rich and diversified history of one of Europe’s oldest and most distinguished nations. Each beast represents a branch that connects the royal lineage to the current holder of the British Royal Throne, her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Falcon of Plantagenets connects the branch associated with King Richard III, who used the Falcon to represent the house of Plantagenet. The crest was fully embraced by King Edward IV, who adapted it as his personal badge with variations that endure to this day.

Depicted on the reverse side is the Falcon first used by Richard III, with the adaptations of Edward IV. The noble Falcon is seen with its wings outstretched as it bears the crest of the Falcon of Plantagenets in its talons. King Edward IV applied his variation to the design by ensuring that the fetterlock, which is seen on the crest, remained open, which is symbolic of Edward IV’s successful campaign to “unlock” the throne to become the first Yorkist King of England. The distinctive textured field beautifies the image, as the heraldic beats title, denomination, purity, and year of issue encapsulate it.

The obverse contains Jody Clark’s contemporary effigy of Queen Elizabeth II over a full, textured field. Her Majesty’s title and the coin’s denominational value are also included.
