2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and The Lion Coin

In 1590, Edmund Spenser wrote and published the first half of an epic poem that would go on to inspire a groundbreaking British coin design more than 200 years later during the reign of Queen Victoria. In the modern era, the East India Company and St. Helena have revived the concept of Una and the Lion in a beautiful new series of silver and gold coins. The gold for sale in this series comes with beautiful proof specimens. Today, 2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and the Lion Coins are available to you online at Omega Bullion.

  • Available to you with plastic capsules and East India Company presentation boxes!
  • New vision of Una and the Lion!
  • Limited mintage of only 499 coins!
  • Contains 1/4 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.
  • The face value of 2 Pound is fully backed by the St. Helena government.
  • Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse.
  • Una and the Lion gaze at one another on the reverse.
  • Proof visuals.

Spenser’s poem was first published in 1590 with a total of three books together in one release. In 1596, the poem was republished with books four through six to create an epic six-book poem known as The Faerie Queene. The poem used various characters as allegorical representations of virtues and themes of the day. Released during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I at the end of the Tudor Era, the books were originally seen as praising Elizabeth I, though scholars later came to believe the poem was actually critical of her reign.

All of the 2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and the Lion Coins available here are packaged in plastic capsules by the mint. The coin and its capsule arrive in an East India Company presentation box that has a flip-up base allowing you to display the coin from the safety of the box. Each coin has frosted designs and mirrored fields.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse side of 2022 Proof St. Helena Gold Una and the Lion Coins. This depiction of Her Majesty is the latest from the Royal Mint and features on the coinage of various British Overseas Territories and Commonwealth Nations. The design shows the Queen in right-profile relief at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem.

Una and the Lion are captured in a new design from Glyn Davies on the reverse of 2022 1 oz Proof Gold Una and the Lion Coins. This year’s design shows the duo seated across from one another as they gaze across the design field at the other. Una is in right-profile relief on the left, while the noble lion is in left-profile relief on the right.
