The obverse of the 2026 Pitcairn Islands Gold Queen’s Beast Griffin Coin features King Charles III. As the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles became King following her passing in September 2022 and was crowned in May 2023. This left-facing portrait was created by Glyn Davies and appears on select coin programs produced by The Tower Mint.

On the reverse of the 2026 Gold Queen’s Beast Griffin Coin is the Griffin of Edward III. This heraldic beast was included among the Queen’s Beasts to represent the long-standing traditions of the English monarchy. Its connection to Edward III links it to one of England’s most influential medieval rulers and highlights centuries of royal heritage that extend through generations of sovereigns.

The Griffin of Edward III combines characteristics of two legendary creatures into one powerful symbol. Featuring the head, wings, and talons of an eagle along with the body of a lion, the griffin represents a blend of qualities associated with both animals. The eagle symbolizes vision, authority, and strength in the skies, while the lion stands for courage, leadership, and power on the earth.
