The Queen's Beasts : The White Horse of Hanover - 2020 UK Five Ounce Gold Proof Coin : NGC Graded PF70

 The White Horse of Hanover £500 5oz Gold Proof coin forms a tenth of The Queen’s Beasts series created by The Royal Mint. The collection was designed by Jody Clark, and features the 5th Portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II, on the coin’s obverse with a classic heraldic image on the reverse. The series was released in 2017, commemorating the year Her Majesty became the longest reigning monarch in history. In this edition of the series, the coin captures a depiction of the White Horse in a 'full gallop' pose leaping over a shield. Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II, inherited the White Horse from George I of Hanover. The White Horse signals wisdom, strength, speed, intellect and virility. These symbols of heraldry, myth and ancient legend date back over 1,000 years to King Edward III’s reign, and now immortalised in coinage, the Beasts are a highly collectible tribute to Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II. Now, numismatists can secure this token of royal heritage to treasure for eternity.
