A single figural coin bank constructed of painted chalkware, depicting a stylized British Yeoman Warder, commonly known as a Beefeater. The figure wears a uniform featuring a black hat with red and white trim, a high white neck ruff, and a red tunic detailed with black strapping and a belt. The chest bears a painted gold crown crest and four painted medal ribbons (Red, White, Green, Yellow, Blue). The lower uniform consists of white trousers with red dots. A narrow coin slot is located on the reverse of the hat, and the base is hollow. This type of item is frequently marketed as a mid-20th century novelty souvenir.
