2017 Queen Elizabeth II 'Queens Beast Unicorn of Scotland' 5oz 999.9 Gold Proof Coin - Box / COA
The Unicorn of Scotland
From the end of the 16th century, two unicorns were adopted as the supporters of the Scottish Royal Arms. In 1603, the crown of England passed to James VI of Scotland, who then became James I of England. He took as supporters of his Royal Arms a crowned lion of England and one of his Scottish unicorns. The unicorn holds a shield showing the Royal Arms of Scotland, a lion ramping in a royal tressure, adorned with fleur-de-lis.
