One of the many groundbreaking coin designs ever issued in Britain was the 1839 Una and the Lion image. Featured on a 5 Pound sterling gold coin, it was issued in honor of the first anniversary of Queen Victoria’s coronation and presented a monarch on British coins in a fashion never seen before. In the modern era, St. Helena and the East India Company have taken up this mantle with an ongoing Una and the Lion Series. Now, 2022 1 oz Proof St. Helena Silver Una and the Lion Coins are available to you for purchase online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The first coin to feature an Una-and-the-Lion design was the aforementioned 5 Pound sterling gold coin from the Royal Mint. This coin was designed by William Wyon in 1839 and issued to commemorate the one-year anniversary of her coronation as Queen of England. The coins featured the Young Head portrait of Queen Victoria on one side, and a never-before-seen monarch depiction on the reverse.
That reverse design depicted Queen Victoria as Una from the famous 16th-century poem, The Faerie Queene. The design was meant to reflect a young Queen Victoria taking control of the might of the British Empire, as represented by the lion. Now, Glyn Davies offers the latest interpretation of Una and the Lion in the latest EIC release of Una and the Lion 1 oz silver coins.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of the 2022 1 oz Proof St. Helena Silver Una and the Lion Coins. This right-profile portrait of Elizabeth II comes from Jody Clark and was first designed for the Royal Mint in 2015. This is the latest effigy of Her Majesty and shows the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.
In the reverse design of 2022 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion Coins, the EIC features a design from Glyn Davies. This depiction shows the noble lion seated next to Una as it looks to her for guidance, while also showing it is ready to guard her with its life.
These 2022 1 oz Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion Coins are available with presentation boxes from the East India Company. Each coin is authorized by the Issuing Authority of St. Helena.
