Each of the 2019 1 Kilo Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Falcon of the Plantagenets Coins is available to you within a wooden display box that includes the Certificate of Authenticity of the Royal Mint validating the authenticity of the coin. Each one has a proof finish with frosted design elements and mirrored background fields.
The Falcon of the Plantagenets is the fifth design to appear in the Proof Queen’s Beast Series, but actually represents the sixth issue of the overall collection on the bullion side. The proof coins debuted after the bullion series released, resulting in a delay in availability between some of the designs.
On the obverse of 2019 1 Kilo Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Falcon of the Plantagenets Coins, you’ll find the latest effigy of Queen Elizabeth II to feature on British coins. The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Elizabeth II is now on a fifth-generation design that captures her at the age of 89. This design includes Elizabeth II wearing the Royal Diadem crown similar to the previous third-generation design.
The reverse of 2019 Proof British Silver Queen’s Beast Falcon Coins features the White Falcon of King Edward III. One of the many Plantagenet monarchs to rule during the 300-plus year control of the crown by Plantagenets, Edward III had a love of hawking that led him to depict the white falcon in his official seal.
This design includes a white falcon supporting the shield from behind as a second white falcon inside the shield clutches a fetterlock. Displaying Elizabeth II’s legitimate claim to the throne, the fetterlock is open. Some of Edward III’s younger sons would use the fetterlock in a closed position to show no claim to the throne.
