| Aanvullende informatie |
The Una and the Lion design originates from William Wyon's 1839 pattern crown — never circulated, struck only as a presentation piece for the young Queen Victoria, and widely considered the finest coin produced by the Royal Mint in the 19th century. Its revival here marks exactly 180 years from that original. The 2019 issue was among the largest and heaviest silver coins the Royal Mint had produced for the domestic market to that point, part of a broader push into ultra-high-relief collector pieces that began accelerating after the success of their 2017 sovereign restrikes.
Wyon based the allegorical composition on Spenser's The Faerie Queene, in which Una represents truth guiding a lion.
