2024 St Helena £1 1-oz Silver Una & Lion Proof

Una And The Lion Return With New Design For 2024

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. 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 2024 with a fabulous new one-year-only design that is simply jaw-dropping!

A New Take On A Classic Una And The Lion Design

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by the East India Company, the 2024 design created by designer Carroll Hutchings shows an intricate portrayal of Una’s face with her hair seamlessly blending into the mane of the snarling lion. Una’s face is the epitome of softness and beauty. The thoughtful expression on her face is framed by her hair—itself a wild mane that is so intricately engraved that you can see every strand and curl of its flowing mass. The reimagined vision of this ancient partnership beautifully illustrates the inseparable connection and unwavering courage at the heart of the medieval legend of the brave princess and the mighty beast by her side. The remarkable image is the embodiment of infusing modern style into a classic design born in the early 1800s.

Gorgeous 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! Plus, each coin here will come beautifully housed in its original mint packaging along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
