Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse side of 2017 Proof Queens Beast Lion Silver Coins. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem. This portrait of the Queen was developed in 2015 by Jody Clark as the fifth-generation depiction of Her Majesty to grace British currency. The design field includes inscriptions of 10 POUNDS, ELIZABETH II, and D.G. REG. F.D.

Reverse

For the reverse side of 2017 Proof British Lion 5 oz Silver Coins, the Royal Mint offers an image of the Lion of England. Also designed by Jody Clark, this visual shows the Lion on its hind legs as it supports the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom. This quartered shield features the individual coat of arms designs for England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The inscriptions on this side include 2017 and LION OF ENGLAND.

History

The 2017 release date was the first for Proof Queens Beast Coins. The Lion of England design was the first available in proof, just as it was the first offered in the BU Series. The Lion of England silver proofs were available in 1 oz, 2 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz, and 1 Kilogram options.
