An enduring symbol of strength and beauty, it’s easy to see how the unicorn came to be used in heraldry. It first appeared on Scottish heraldry in the twelfth century, after William I created an early form of the Scottish coat of arms. James I of England, who united the English and Scottish thrones, chose the Scottish Unicorn to join the Lion of England to support the Royal Arms. They have supported this shield, which symbolizes the sovereignty of Her Majesty The Queen and represents the unity of the United Kingdom, ever since.
The Unicorn of Scotland has been brought to life in a contemporary design by prestigious Royal Mint coin designer Jody Clark, who created the current coinage portrait of Her Majesty. The unicorn is the second release in the collection but eight beasts are soon to follow. Each coin comes with a booklet on the origins of this fantastical beast, which has been produced in collaboration with Clive Cheesman, Richmond Herald of the College of Arms.
