{{/presale}}Introducing the extraordinary 2024 1 oz Una and the Lion Silver Bars, a stunning homage to a legendary design from The Royal Mint’s illustrious history. Crafted just two years into Queen Victoria’s reign, this remarkable interpretation by William Wyon dared to depict the Queen as the Faerie Queene from the timeless 16th-century poem, The Faerie Queene. Now available at BGASC, seize the opportunity to add a piece of numismatic history to your collection.
Highlights:
Each 2024 1 oz Una and the Lion Silver Bar from BGASC arrives securely encased in protective plastic, ensuring its pristine condition. These bars are part of an esteemed series, with larger 10 oz and 100 oz options also available. With a limited mintage of just 21,839 bars, each bears the significant date of the original Una and the Lion British gold coin from 1839.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2024 Una and the Lion Silver Bars, you’ll discover the captivating figures of Una and the Lion in an enchanting embrace. Una, depicted in left-profile relief, tenderly rests her head against the lion’s, its majestic mane beautifully depicted in right-profile relief.
Reverse
Turning to the reverse, you’ll find the iconic Latin phrase from the original 1839 gold coin, “DIRIGIT DEUS GRESSUS MEOS,” translating to “MAY GOD DIRECT MY STEPS.” This profound inscription, a hallmark of Wyon’s original design, adds a timeless touch to these exquisite bars.
History
The 1839 Una and the Lion gold coin is renowned for its intricate design and historical significance. The obverse side of the 1839 coin features the portrait of Queen Victoria, who had ascended to the throne in 1837, just two years prior to the release of the coin. The portrait was also crafted by William Wyon and showcases Victoria in her youthful glory.
