Obverse
On the obverse of 2021 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion 1 oz Coins, there is an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Originally produced in 2015, this portrait by Jody Clark depicts the Queen wearing the Coronation Necklace and the George IV State Diadem. Youll also see inscriptions across the rim that read ELIZABETH II, D. G. REGINA F. D. ST. HELENA, 1 POUND.
Reverse
The reverse face of 2021 Proof St. Helena Una and the Lion Silver Coins features Una and her beloved lion. Una is shown on the left side armed with a spear and wearing a dress with a flowing cape. The lion is shown beside her leaping out of the image, its paw extending to the outer rim of the coin. Inscriptions read UNA AND THE LION, 2021.
History
Una and the Lion are two characters featured in Edmund Spensers beloved 16th-centurypoem The Faerie Queene. Nearly 200 years after the poem was first published, Royal Mint engraver William Wyon created the iconic Una and the Lion design that today is considered one of the finest specimens in coin history. Now the story continues with a remarkable new Una and the Lion design produced by the East India Company in partnership with St. Helena.
