The Queen’s Beasts Collection is a coin program struck to honor Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II who became the world’s longest-reigning monarch in 2016. The program debuted that same year with captivating designs of the heraldic statues that “stood guard” over her coronation in 1953. Each coin was struck in gold, silver, and platinum. This year contains the final new design: the White Greyhound of Richmond. This specific animal stands to showcase the merger between the houses of York and Lancaster. Several monarchs used this badge including John of Gaunt, Henry IV, and Henry VII. John of Gaunt created this Coat of Arms with the Tudor Rose to symbolize the unification of the two rival houses. He also chose the White Greyhound dog because it was the most popular breed in Northern England at the time.

The obverse of the White Greyhound coin displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as captured by Jody Clark. She wears her royal diadem and matching earrings. Inscriptions include the face value, her name, and "D.G. REG F. D." This final inscription translates to "By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith" from Latin.

The reverse of this coin showcases a regal White Greyhound dog standing on its hind legs with its front paws over a shield. The shield carries the image of the Tudor Rose, and the Royal Crown sits on top of the flower.
