The Lion Proof Coin Gem BU The Lion Proof Coin Gem BU
A young Una was a character in a famous British poem, “The Fairie Queene”. In a scene from the poem, Una is shown pointing the way forward to a lion. It went on to become one of the most iconic images around the globe.
In 2020, the East India Company issued a new series featuring renditions of the original design. Since its release, the Una & the Lion has become one of the most popular and sought after coin series around the world.
The recently released 2023 Una & the Lion is the fourth release of the series. The obverse features the first Effigy of King Charles in a right profile potrait. The reverse features a new design by engraver Glyn Davies, capturing the beauty of Una and the raw power of the lion.
With a limited mintage of only 1,500 proofs, they sold out on the day of release. Straight from the mint, the coin arrives encapsulated in East India’s signature clamshell display case along with a certificate of authenticity and information booklet.
