Hi Stackers
In my posts about new issued 2023 coins this is I think the last one worthwhile mentioning.
It is the second coin in the new seires of the Tudor Beasts of the Uk Royal MInt. First serie was called Queens Beasts .
On the coin the Yale of Beaufort and before these coins I had no idea what yale meant.
**Yale = A mythical animal with the body of a goat or antilope with swivelling horns. **
I read it was the family weapon or animal of Henry VII’s mother named Lady Margaret Beaufort. An influential woman in UK history with a typical English last name "Beaufort"
It is because of the huge success of the first series that the UK mint just starts another one.
Now let's see the serie one Yale once more:
It has also spots but guess what I like the new one better. I tried to find a picture of the original weapon.
Ok, so te 1st was closer to the original and now the mint took some more freedom in the design.
Enjoy
