{{/presale}}In 1839, a magnificent gold coin was minted, paying tribute to England’s esteemed Queen Victoria through the exquisite craftsmanship of Chief Engraver William Wyon. You now have the opportunity to add the prestigious 100 oz Silver 2024 Una and the Lion Bars to your collection courtesy of Provident Metals.
Highlights:
William Wyon’s artistic rendition for the 1839 5 Pound sterling British gold coin commemorated Queen Victoria’s reign by portraying her as Una, a character from Edmund Spenser’s renowned poem “The Faerie Queene.” This portrayal wasn’t merely art; it symbolized the fusion of literature and monarchy, marking a significant moment in British numismatic history.
Obverse
On the obverse of the Silver 2024 Una and the Lion Bars, Una and the Lion are depicted in a tender embrace, symbolizing unity and guardianship.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 100 oz Silver Una and the Lion Bar bears hallmarks and an engraving from Wyon’s original 1839 design, featuring the Latin phrase DIRIGIT DEUS GRESSUS MEOS, meaning “MAY GOD DIRECT MY STEPS.” This inscription adds a touch of tradition and spirituality to these modern treasures.
History
“The Faerie Queene” explores complex themes of gender and power, reflecting Elizabethan attitudes towards women and female rulers. While the Faerie Queene represents female sovereignty and authority, other female characters in the poem, such as Duessa and Acrasia, embody negative stereotypes of femininity as deceitful or corrupting.
Ordering
Each 100 oz Silver 2024 Una and the Lion Bar comes securely packaged in its own cardboard box, ensuring both its safety and authenticity. With only 300 bars minted, this 100 oz silver bar is a rare gem cherished by both investors and collectors alike.
