2021 St Helena £5 5-oz Silver Una & Lion Proof NGC PF70 First Releases

A New Una And The Lion Design For 2021

The original Una & the Lion coin was a true work of art. Minted way back in 1839 during the reign of Queen Victoria, it depicted the young monarch as Una (Truth) the titular character in The Fairie Queene, an epic poem written by British author Edmund Spenser and first published in 1590. A young Victoria is shown on the coin pointing the way forward to a lion in a scene taken from the poem that also serves as an allegorical representation of the Queen leading the British People.

A New Take On A Classic Coin Design

That design received a stunning makeover in 2020 when the East India Company issued a fabulous series on behalf of Saint Helena that depicted new take on the classic Una and the Lion coin born during the Victorian Era. The series returns in 2021 with an all-new design that is simply jaw-dropping. Struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by the East India Company, the 2021 design shows Princess Una, her hair and cape flowing around in an almost mystical style. A male lion with a massive mane is crouched at her side. One paw slips outside the inner ringed-design as if it is ready to leap off the coin in defense of his princess. The image is simply remarkable and marks an infusion of modern style into a classic design born in the early 1800s.

Perfect Proof Condition Accentuates Design

The spectacular design takes on an even more dazzling effect thanks to its gorgeous Proof condition. This stunning appearance was achieved by utilizing hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields!
