This beautiful 2020 White Horse 1oz gold coin is the ninth of the popular "Queen's Beasts" series.
The White Horse is depicted rearing up over George I's Royal Coat of Arms. This is to show it is a Kentish horse, rather than the galloping German horse of Hanover. The emblem beneath is split into four, with a quarter referencing each of Britain (England & Scotland), France, Ireland, and Hanover (Brunswick, Lüneburg, and Hanover).
The Queen's Beasts are ten statues which stood guard for the Queen's Coronation, sculpted by James Woodford RA in 1953. The Queen's Beasts are still standing, but are currently housed at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, Canada. Stone replicas of the statues reside at Kew Gardens, London.
The coin is 24-carat (or 999.9 purity) and contains one ounce of gold. Both the obverse and reverse are designed by the Royal Mint's Jody Clark.
