Queens Beasts – White Horse 2020

The 2020 ‘White Horse’ is the ninth of a series of ten that feature the “Queen’s Beasts”, this one being the White Horse of the House of Hanover.

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 Royal Mint issued an initial 5,000 coins, though the Queen’s Beast series is officially of unlimited mintage until the end of the year of issue.
