Beschreibung Rückseite

The coin depicts the Griffin of King Edward III. Part lion and part eagle, the griffin combines the characteristics of the king of the beasts and the air to create a creature more powerful than either. Appearing in English heraldry from the twelfth century onwards, it was elevated to royal status by Edward III – the epitome of medieval English kingship and founder of the Order of the Garter based at Windsor Castle. 2021 GRIFFIN OF EDWARD III
