| Beschrijving keerzijde | The figure of Una, personifying Britain, is depicted astride a walking lion facing left, in a composition inspired by William Wyon's celebrated 1839 Una and the Lion gold pattern coinage. Una is crowned and robed, holding a sceptre in her right hand and an orb in her left. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed in the lower field beneath the central device. The design is rendered in high relief with fine classical detail throughout. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Una and the Lion derives from a allegorical poem in Spenser's Faerie Queene, where Una represents the true church guided by a lion — a composition William Wyon adapted for the celebrated 1839 Pattern Five Pounds, widely considered the finest coin produced by the Victorian Royal Mint. That pattern never circulated; it was struck purely as a prestige piece for Queen Victoria's coronation coinage trials.
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues coins primarily for the collector market through arrangements with the Royal Mint and associated agencies.
