The mothers of British monarchs rarely enjoy the visibility and historical record of Lady Margaret Beaufort. The only daughter and heiress of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, Margaret was married four times in her life. Most significantly, she bore her only child through her second husband Edmund Tudor. That child would go on to reign as King Henry VII and found the Tudor dynasty.

On the reverse of 2019 2 oz British Silver Queen’s Beast Yale of Beaufort Coins is the image of Lady Margaret Beaufort’s symbol. The Yale is a mythical beast often depicted either as an antelope or goat. Not just the mother and grandmother of English kings, Margaret is credited with the establishment of Christ’s College in 1505 and St. John’s College, completed posthumously in 1511 just two years after her death.
