The coins are protected by a plastic capsule and housed in a deluxe wooden case.

The Queen's Beasts is a series of ten heraldic sculptures, placed in front of the glass wall of the West Annexe at Westminster Abbey. Endless processions were thus able to view the white statues with their coloured shields before the coronation of the young Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The heraldic animals represented the genealogy of the Queen and her links to royal ancestors in the long history of the British monarchy. The plaster statues could not be exposed to the weather for long periods of time. After the event, they were therefore moved to the Great Hall of Hampton Court Palace and subsequently to St George's Hall at Windsor. In 1959 they found a home in the British Dominion, Canada. On the centenary of Canadian Confederation, the originally white animal statues also received heraldic colours. Today, the original series of The Queen's Beasts statues are in the care of the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. The 1958 stone replicas are installed at Kew Gardens Botanic Gardens in London.

The obverse of each coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the initials of the artist Jody Clark, the inscriptions ''ELIZABETH II.D.G.REG.F.D.'' and the face value.
