2022 1/4 oz Proof St. Helena Gold Una and The Lion Coin

In 1590, Edmund Spenser wrote and published the first half of an epic poem that would go on to inspire a groundbreaking British coin design more than 200 years later during the reign of Queen Victoria. In the modern era, the East India Company and St. Helena have revived the concept of Una and the Lion in a beautiful new series of silver and gold coins.

Spenser’s poem was first published in 1590 with a total of three books together in one release. In 1596, the poem was republished with books four through six to create an epic six-book poem known as The Faerie Queene. The poem used various characters as allegorical representations of virtues and themes of the day. Released during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I at the end of the Tudor Era, the books were originally seen as praising Elizabeth I, though scholars later came to believe the poem was actually critical of her reign.
