Since 1603, no two heraldic beasts have been more important than the Lion of England and the Unicorn of Scotland.

King James I of England ascended to the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch who never married and left no children behind. James was at the time on the throne as King James VI of Scotland and a cousin of the Tudors. As the only blood relative, he was offered the throne of England to ensure continuity of control and not allow for fighting over control of the crown. He reigned as King James I and unified the crowns of England and Scotland in his personal being.

All of the 10 oz Antique Finish Queen’s Beast The Unicorn of Scotland Silver Statues are available to you in brand-new condition from the issuing mint. The statues are housed in shipping boxes for delivery with protective packaging materials surrounding the statue. Inside, you will find a Certificate of Authenticity available with the statue that includes the same serial number as assigned to the statue and laser-engraved on its base.

The 10 oz Antique Finish Queen’s Beast The Unicorn of Scotland Silver Statue depicts the mighty steed unchained as it supports the Royal Arms of Scotland. The unicorn stands with its front legs over the top of the shield with a chain coming from the crown around its neck. The unicorn supports a shield with the rampant Lion of Scotland. This is the official coat of arms for the independent nation of Scotland.

This shield is the official coat of arms of the King of Scots and was adopted in the early 12^th century. When King James ascended to the throne of England in 1603, he brought the coat of arms of Scotland to the modified Royal Arms during his reign and brought the Unicorn of Scotland as a secondary supporting animal alongside the Lion of England. The Unicorn maintains that position to this day.
