The series commemorates the ten imposing statues that lined the entrance to Westminster Abbey in 1953 at the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen. The statues were of the heraldic beasts - ancient symbols of power representing noble families and houses in the Queen's line of ancestors.

The White Horse of Hanover links Queen Elizabeth to King George I. The coin's reverse shows the Horse rearing behind a shield emblazoned with heraldic symbols of King George; the leopards of England, the lion of Scotland, the fleur-de-lis of France, the harp of Ireland and the Arms of Hanover. The White Horse was introduced to the Royal Arms in 1714 when George I, Duke of Hanover, ascended to the throne of all Great Britain, France and Ireland.
