I have a hunch there is some kind of hidden meaning in this coin.
But why beasts? And why does the queen turn her back to the lion and looks toward the nazi eagle?
Things that make you politely go "ahem".
The Queen's Beasts
Evan Ross
Justin Sanders

Carter Thomas
the ones in the know will post misdirection here, especially if the thread gets warm.
John Thompson
what is this? and what does it have to do with the monarchy?
Anthony Watson
>The Chimera is a symbol representing the tripartite year with each of the creature's heads, the lion, goat, and serpent, representing the calendar seasons, respectively. Seeing the Chimera is immortal, it comes to represent time and the timeless, as well as the transitional changes occurring with the shift of seasons.
I think it's that last part which is probably why it was chosen symbolism-wise.
Jordan Rivera
the chimera is a brit thing?

I got a 2oz one of these when it was $55. I should have bought 100, they are very nice:

Originated in Greek mythology. She probably included it for its esoteric meaning. Because it represents the three parts of the year it also represents the three stages of life: youth / middle age / elderly and a country's history: origin / expansion / decay. You can understand why that would be meaningful symbolism to an aging Monarch.

The dragon and cow though?
Lucas White

It's a Griffin, of Edward III
Adrian Parker
Griffin of Edward III. Looks like the modern fat german eagle anyway.
Jeremiah Stewart

Hunter Watson

>nazi eagle
it's a griffin you ape. It guards either gold in the Greco-Roman tradition or divine power in the Christian tradition
Nazi eagle is next to the chimera on her 7 o'clock
Note how there are two lions, one crowned above the queen, and one uncrowned behind her.
Benjamin Long
You're right user it's all a conspiracy and has nothing to do with heraldy dating back to the 15th century at all
Bentley Hall

unicorn of scotland. kek.
Luis Long
Yeah you just keep studying your little coin while Western civilization collapses around us.
This is a productive discussion on the political board.
Thanks for absolutely nothing, moron

The zodiac story starts in Virgo and ends in Leo, perhaps it's related.
