Since 2017 The Royal Mint has reimagined a number of Her Majesty The Queen's heraldic beasts through a series known as The Queen's Beasts Collection. This exciting series draws its inspiration from the ten Queen's Beasts statues that stood guard at Westminster Abbey on the day of The Queen's coronation in 1953. The statues’ sculptor, James Woodford, is also responsible for the famous Robin Hood statues at Nottingham Castle.
