The reign of King Edward IV was significant in English history for a number of reasons. First and foremost, Edward IVs initial victory in the Wars of the Roses between the House of York and the House of Lancaster brought a brief respite to the struggle for control of the English crown. Additionally, it led to the rise of the first monarch from the House of York. Edward IV is remembered in the Queens Beast Series with two different emblems.

All 2020 2 oz British Silver Queens Beast White Lion Coins are available today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins are available individually inside of protective plastic flips. Multiples are available in tubes of 10 coins or Monster Boxes of 200 coins that include 20 separate tubes of 10 coins.

On the reverse of the 2020 British Silver Queens Beast White Lion Coin is the image of the White Lion of Mortimer with a Yorkist shield. The Yorkist shield the White Lion supports is traditionally shown with a white rose backed by the golden sun. The Wars of the Roses was so-named for the white rose emblems of the House of York and the red roses of the House of Lancaster.

The obverse of 2020 2 oz British Silver Queens Beast White Lion Coins features the bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is depicted in right-profile relief in this fifth-generation design. This design was created in 2015 and debuted on British coins with the 2016 date mark. It features the Queen wearing the Royal Diadem crown on her head. Both images on these coins come from Jody Clark.
