{{/presale}}One of the more revolutionary coin designs in the history of England was the 1839 depiction of Queen Victoria as Una from the famous English poem, The Faerie Queene. This design marked the first time a British monarch had ever been depicted as a fictional character. Modern interpretations of this classic work are alive and well on the bullion coinage of St. Helena. Provident Metals now has 2022 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion 1 oz Gold Coins available to you for purchase online.
