Slabbed One Ounce Gold Queen’s Beast Falcon (MS69) dated 2019. There was a grading system from the 1940s that ascribed a number between 1 and 70 to each coin (70 being mint condition). Dr William Sheldon’s scale worked on the basis that a coin graded at 70 would be valued at 70 times more than the value of a coin graded at 1. This scale forms the basis of the grading system today. PR denotes Proof coins. DCAM stands for Deep Cameo, where proof coins display even frosting on both sides of the coin. The Falcon was chosen by the Plantagenet King Edward III, this was to embody his love of hawking, it was then used as the Royal Badge of his grandson Richard II. The falcon, which symbolises single-minded determination, sits upon a golden fetterlock, which is open slightly, this is to symbolise Edward’s claim to the throne. In later times, the House of York and Lancaster were unified by Henry VII, which led to the Falcon being adopted by him. The Falcon later became an established royal beast by the reign of Elizabeth I and has featured on coats of arms ever since.
