2022 St Helena £1 1-oz Silver Una & Lion Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue

A New Take On A Classic Una And The Lion Design

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 Una And The Lion Design For 2022

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 2022 with an all-new design that is simply jaw-dropping. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by the East India Company, the 2022 design shows a determined Una and a powerful-but poised lion facing each other, staring deeply into each other’s eyes pondering the next step on their quest. The design by Glyn Davies, evocatively captures the grace, courage, and trust of the original story of the brave princess and her lion. The image is simply remarkable and marks an infusion of modern style into a classic design born in the early 1800s.

Gorgeous Proof Condition Accentuates Design
