1oz Gold Coin — PCGS Graded MS68+

The 2019 Falcon of the Plantagenets forms part of The Royal Mint’s acclaimed Queen’s Beasts series — a ten-coin sovereign bullion collection celebrating the heraldic lineage of the British monarchy.

The falcon was a historic emblem of the Plantagenet dynasty, one of the longest-reigning royal houses in English history (1154–1485). Adopted by Edward III and associated with royal authority and noble heritage, the falcon symbolised resilience, sovereignty and dynastic legitimacy during the medieval period.

The reverse design depicts the falcon poised in flight, reinforcing its association with strength, governance and aristocratic lineage — themes central to the development of England’s constitutional foundations.

Struck in one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, this example has been independently graded MS68+ by PCGS, confirming exceptional mint-state quality and strong strike definition.

With a limited mintage of 5,000 coins worldwide, high-grade examples continue to attract structured demand within the completed Queen’s Beasts series.
