2023 St. Helena Una and the Lion 1oz Silver BU Coin

2023 St. Helena Una and the Lion 1oz Silver BU Coin

The legend of Una & the Lion dates back to the 16th Century and Edmund Spencer’s epic poem The Faerie Queene, a classic work of medieval English literature. At over 36,000 lines long, its six books contain one of the longest poems in the English language, each book telling stories of different knights on their various quests to prove or demonstrate their particular virtues. As a whole, it is believed to be an allegory of the life and achievements of Queen Elizabeth I, but it is in Book One where we meet the heroic figure of Una.

Una is a beautiful princess on a quest to save her mother and father from a cruel dragon who has imprisoned them in a tower. To help her defeat the dragon, she searches for the Red Crosse knight, whose destiny is to become St. George, the patron saint of England.

While on her journey Una enters a dark secluded wood, where she encounters a fierce lion who launches an attack on her. However, before he is able to leap upon his prey his initial rage is replaced by wonder, his anger subdued as he is instantly captivated by Una’s beauty and innocence. Instead of tearing her to pieces, he kisses her weary feet and licks her hands. He becomes her strong guard and faithful companion, forever by her side, filling her with courage and protecting her from harm.

Design 

The 2023 Una & the Lion has been created by designer Glyn Davies. A determined Una sits beside the powerful but poised lion as the
pair look out towards you, almost making direct eye contact with you! Do you feel their fierce bond and steely determination? His modern retelling of this ancient partnership captures the inseparable connection and unwavering courage at the heart of the medieval legend of this brave princess and the mighty beast by her side.
