King Edward III was among many of the powerful monarchs to come from the House of Plantagenets, a ruling family in Britain over the course of more than 300 years which was originally founded in France. Edward III was fond of falconry and hawking, eventually choosing the white falcon as his symbol.

On the reverse of 2019 Proof British Gold Queen’s Beast Falcon Coins, you’ll find the image of a white falcon on the shield with its claws clutching an open fetterlock. The use of a fetterlock is often associated with a claim to the English throne, with Queen Elizabeth II’s white falcon containing an open fetterlock.

Edward III’s sons John and Edmund, for example, often used the fetterlock in their family seals with a closed lock to symbolize they had no claim to the throne of England. Edward’s older sons did use an open fetterlock though, and eventually, the white falcon would pass down to King Edward IV and eventually to his son Richard, who was the final monarch from the House of the Plantagenets.

The obverse of 2019 5 oz Proof British Gold Queen’s Beast Falcon Coins is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s design on these gold coins comes from Jody Clark and was created in 2015 as the fifth-generation image of the Queen to feature on British coins.
