Burning Queen's Beasts

On the occasion of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain in 1953, ten majestic beasts were placed at the entrance to Westminster Abbey, which still guard the gates to the famous Anglican temple. Each of the beasts is a statue about 1.8 meters high, symbolizing the historical legacy of the dynasty of one of the families or places associated with the Windsor dynasty. Coins in this series were decorated with ruthenium and gold.
