2023 St. Helena £1 1-oz Silver The Faerie Queen: Una and Redcrosse BU in Card

Saint George Prepares To Battle The Dragon Under The Guise Of Redcrosse The Knight

Long before Edmund Spencer wrote The Faerie Queen as an allegorical tale in 1589 that celebrated Queen Elizabeth I and the Tudor dynasty, the legend of Saint George Slaying the Dragon had spread across Europe. No doubt inspired by the epic legend, Spencer used a brave St. George-like knight named Redcrosse as a protagonist in his epic poem to symbolize the virtues of holiness and the Anglican church. Now Redcrosse/Saint George has returned on this fabulous new coin, the first release in The Faerie Queen series.

A Modern Take On A Medieval Chivalry

The design on this coin is sure to touch every chivalrous bone in your body. It shows The Princess Una beseeching Redcrosse to save her parents from a wicked, fire-breathing dragon. The beautiful Una stands proudly in her pristine robes while Redcrosse sits astride his horse dressed in armor and armed with a shield and sword. In the distance you can see a medieval castle and a winged dragon flying overhead with malevolent intent. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the design simply sparkles on the surface of this coin. Released on behalf of Saint Helena, a volcanic tropical island nation in the South Atlantic Ocean that is part of the British Overseas Territory, these coins are £1 (one pound) legal tender and feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. Plus, each coin available here comes in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition beautifully displayed in a decorative coin card.
