On the obverse of all 2019 Proof Gold Queen’s Beast Coins is the fifth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait captures the Queen at the age of 89 in a right-profile relief. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, this design features on all British coins with a date mark of 2016 or later. The portrait shows the Queen wearing the diamonds of the Royal Diadem crown.

The reverse of the 2019 1 oz Proof Gold Queen’s Beast Falcon of the Plantagenents coin is one of England’s oldest heraldic symbols. The Plantagenet house originated in France and eventually split in England in the House of York and House of Lancaster, with Henry VII’s marriage to Elizabeth of York finally joining the two houses.

King Edward II choose the white falcon as his symbol as an embodiment of his love of hawking and falconry. The bird is closely associated with both Edward III and his great-great-grandson King Edward IV.
