| Aanvullende informatie |
The Una and the Lion design originates from William Wyon's 1839 five-pound piece, widely considered the finest British coin of the nineteenth century. Wyon based the allegorical group on Spenser's Faerie Queene, depicting the young Victoria leading a lion — a piece so admired that it was never intended for circulation and exists today almost exclusively in proof format from that original issue.
The 2019 revival was the largest and heaviest denomination the Royal Mint had produced to that point. At just over a kilogram of .9999 gold, individual blanks required their own dedicated handling protocols during striking.
