The Royal Mint of England introduced the Queens Beasts Collection of coins, with a planned series of 10 designs that featured the beasts from myths, legends, and heraldry. These beasts are said to have guarded over Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II throughout the entirety of her reign. Each of the designs is representative of the monarch and is intricately detailed on each of the coins. The Falcon of the Plantagenets beautifully captures the elegance and the majesty of this heraldic beast. This coin contains .9999 pure silver and is a much-desired collectible, particularly because the coin has a near-perfect certification provided by the NGC.
