{{/presale}}The Una and the Lion Series is an exciting collection of silver and gold coins from the Issuing Authority of St. Helena and the East India Company. The modern revival of this historic partnership brings back to life a coining history that dates back nearly 400 years. Today, you can get 2022 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion 1 oz Silver Coins online from at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
In the Una and the Lion Series, the mint focuses on the famous duo from the epic poem The Faerie Queene. The poem was written by English author Edmund Spenser in 1590 and eventually republished in 1596 as a complete work with the first through third books combined with his newer works in the fourth through sixth books.
Obverse
On the obverse of 2022 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion 1 oz Silver Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. The design shown here was created in 2015 by Jody Clark and has been used since 2016 on the coins of Britain, as well as several other Commonwealth Nations. The field includes inscriptions of ELIZABETH II, D.G. REGINA F.D., ST. HELENA, and 1 POUND.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2022 Proof Una and the Lion 1 oz Silver Coin features a new depiction of the main characters from the Faerie Queene. In this design, Una is shown on the left in a seated position with a staff resting against her left shoulder. Seated nearby, the noble lion looks at Una with a stoic look on its face. The inscriptions on this face of the coin read UNA AND THE LION and 2022.
History
The Faerie Queene is the true definition of an epic work. Spensers poem includes more than 36,000 lines and more than 4,000 stanzas. It remains one of the longest poems written in the English language.
