Royal Mint, 2021 1/4 oz St Helena Una and the Lion .9999 Gold Proof Coin

Description

Following on from last year’s highly successful inaugural release, the Una and the Lion series returns in 2021.

Celebrating the heroine Una, an iconic symbol of beauty and honour, and her majestic protector – the lion, the 2021 Una & the Lion features a beautiful new design by engraver Glyn Davies. The 2021 powerful and dramatic design highlights the beauty of Una and the raw power of the lion.

The design showcases a stylised representation of Una & the Lion standing side by side, with the lion in an aggressive stance with his teeth bared and his terrific full mane flowing. By his side, exquisite Una gazes down at him with her robes flowing out behind her capturing both her beauty and strength.
