In 1590, Edmund Spenser wrote and published the first half of an epic poem that would go on to inspire a groundbreaking British coin design more than 200 years later during the reign of Queen Victoria. In the modern era, the East India Company and St. Helena have revived the concept of Una and the Lion in a beautiful new series of silver and gold coins. The gold for sale in this series comes with beautiful proof specimens. Today, 2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and the Lion Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Spenser’s poem was first published in 1590 with a total of three books together in one release. In 1596, the poem was republished with books four through six to create an epic six-book poem known as The Faerie Queene. The poem used various characters as allegorical representations of virtues and themes of the day. Released during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I at the end of the Tudor Era, the books were originally seen as praising Elizabeth I, though scholars later came to believe the poem was actually critical of her reign.
All of the 2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and the Lion Coins available here are packaged in plastic capsules by the mint. The coin and its capsule arrive in an East India Company presentation box that has a flip-up base allowing you to display the coin from the safety of the box. Each coin has frosted designs and mirrored fields.
