It was centuries ago when Scotland adopted the Unicorn as a heraldic animal. It is often thought that the idea of the unicorn came from the misidentification of other animals in the wild, including the rhinoceros or an antelope of some sort. The Unicorn of Scotland was introduced to the British arms when James VI of Scotland ascended to the throne in the 17^th century and became James I of England.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 2019 British Queens Beast Unicorn 10 oz Silver Coin depicts the fifth-generation portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth is the longest-reigning monarch in Englands history. This portrait was created in 2015, showing Her Majesty at 89.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2019 British Queens Beast Unicorn 10 oz Silver Coin features the image of the Unicorn of Scotland. The Unicorn was used by James VI of Scotland and came to the Royal Arms after he took the throne of England. The unicorn is shown supporting the shield of Scotland, which depicts a rampant lion. The shield has remained unchanged since the 13^th-century when Alexander III reigned.

James VI united the crowns of Scotland and England after Queen Elizabeth I died without an heir to take the throne. This introduced the Unicorn of Scotland to the Royal Arms, and led to the creation of a design featuring the Lion of England and Unicorn of Scotland supporting the shield.
