{{/presale}}It all started in 1590, when Edmund Spenser published his epic poem The Faerie Queene. In Book I, Una and her trusted lion are introduced to readers for the very first time. In honor of these beloved characters, The East India Company has released a new design in their Una and the Lion collection. This time around, they are depicted in a contemporary Art Nouveau style from the acclaimed artist Glyn Davies. Provident Metals currently has 2023 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion 1/4 oz Gold Coins available to you for purchase online.

History
We meet the courageous princess Una in Book I of Edmund Spensers The Faerie Queene. The lion meanwhile is a fierce creature who becomes her noble companion on a quest to find the Redcrosse Knight. The story concludes with the knight defeating a dragon who has captured Unas parents. This famous scene is inspired by the legend of St. George and the Dragon.
