| Reverse description | An evocative high-relief rendition of William Wyon's celebrated 'Una and the Lion' design, originally created for the 1839 Five Pounds gold coin. Queen Victoria is portrayed as Lady Una, the virtuous protagonist from Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene, depicted in flowing classical robes guiding a crowned lion with a chain. The composition conveys regal grace and allegorical symbolism, with the inscription and date disposed around the lower portion of the field. The engraver's signature 'W.WYON R.A.' appears within the design, attesting to the artistic heritage of the original work. |
