Little bit more information about Una and the Lion -The design is an unusual one for a British coin and has given the coin its familiar name of the Una and the lion five-pound piece. Beautiful though it undoubtedly is, the coin has been criticised for being too medalic. In a sense this is unfair since the Royal Mint records contain no evidence that the Unas were ever to be struck for circulation. On the contrary, all the indications are that they were never intended to be anything other than proof coins and that they were primarily made for inclusion in the specimen sets of the first Victorian coins. These sets, dated 1839, were finally ready for distribution to collectors in 1843, but the Una in fact continued to be struck on occasion long after the sets had been completed.
Allegorical figure on the reverse depicts Queen Victoria in the form of Una, or "Truth" (true). Una - the main character works of Edmund Spenser "Faerie Queene", written between 1590 and 1611. Leo is also part of Spencer, is often identified with the British lion. Leo, along with the queen symbolizes the Queen as the formal head of state and led her to the British people. Reverse legend means "Lord, protect my steps"
There was only around 400 pieces minted and yet for a rare coin it is surprising how many variations can be found among the surviving pieces. There are different metals, differing types of edge, differing patterns of ornamentation on the queen’s hairbands, and the different reverse reading DIRIGIT in the inscription instead of DIRIGE
Thanks so much for that great comments and all of the additional information. I would love to see the royal mint produce a new five sovereign piece however I guess we may have to wait until 2039 for that.
I’m afraid i’ll have to pass on all but great coins! maybe if gold drops to the price of silver i’ll be in 😂
That may be a long wait
Terrific Interview Numistacker ✨👌
Thanks very much
Una and the Lion- designed by one of my ancestors, William Wyon
What illustrious ancestors you have did you get the UNA?
The Una and the 1770 Pr-65 1/2 penny ... wow ! The kind of coins you can say you are lucky to see in person, can't even imagine to hold one in my hand ! For the people who are far from U.K, ( canada for me ) having this video ( i think you are the first to show these early proof in a public video ) is probably the nearest we will be to that absolute masterpiece of my favorite artist, Leonard C Wyon.
Very nice video quality as always !
If I win the lottery tonight, then una and the lion will end up in my collection. Otherwise I will just enjoy this video☺
What are your thoughts 1995 Vs 2016 full proof sovereign in the 5 - 10 years? Thank you
Two wonderful coins, love the portrait of Queen Victoria, thanks for the history of both coins
Only 21 years to go until the Royal Mint do a 200 year anniversary of this one......lol
Yes hop I’m around to buy one
Numi I would be happy to follow you around and pick up all the great coins that fall out of your pockets.
Hi Numi. Great video. I got schooled. I like both coins but would choose the 1644 Charles I Pound. *:-)*
Either would be a great choice
:-) Dd you get one Numi? Una and the Lion 1839
I have a una and the lion.. Only problem is that its a Chinese copy. Lol
Which one, two of each will be ok I think.
Beautiful Una and the Lion coin , in my opinion one of the greatest designs ever , pity it's wasn,t aligned nice and
perfectly straight in its coin holder , therefore I won't be bidding on it !
Less competition for me ))
that silver pound is fantastic
Una and the lion, not an easy choice though.
I just spaffed my pants on that Una
Queen Victoria as Una from Spenser's 1590 poem is the 1st time the monarch was depicted as a fictional character.For a 374 year old hammered coin,the Charles I is in amazing condition.👍
Una and the lion all day 👌🏻
The una for me.
I have silver
Numistacker you are breaking the mould. The 25th of September is my birthday perhaps I should have a lion of a present 🎁
Lovely coins, I'm afraid I will have to pass on the 5 Sovereign. Great video, thanks.
Another great video Numi - very refreshing to see such rarities. I’d take the Una and the Lion no question - but I’m a sucker for gold young head coins!
Fantastic video, Numi. Jaw dropping Una and the Lion!
Great video! Love the Una and the Lion. One of the best coin designs world wide.
Great video Numi! I take the gold coin thank's :)
amazing coins id have the una and the lion the george iii penny was nice and that Edward viii 3p top coins numi thanks
What is estimated value of silver pound? Its not as cool as the 5 pound piece but i assume less cost thanks again
Very interesting sadly too rich for me but the 5 pound luna is a beauty
It would be a real luxury to see all of those coins highlighted. Thanks, Numi. On a 1964 visit to the British Museum, I had the privilege of holding their Una and the Lion in my hand along with other notable old gold coins. It was quite a day!
If the video goes down well then I will try to do it regularly
No question what the response will be.
Awesome coins, if i had to choose one I would take the lion.
wow numi just amazing coins that you show all of us ,
thank you very much for these great videos
Thanks Mark its great to have good comments and a pleasure to show you guys some amazing things which may be really difficult to see close up otherwise.
Lovely coins....i want some in my collection....😊
Well the 1839 Una and the Lion of course! Not only is it a beautiful coin, it is in great condtion as well.
Great choice it would also be my choice
A fascinating video. Well done.
Excellent video, Numi :)
Amazing video Numi ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks for that )) I love encouragement
Nice coins, If I had to pick one its the pound coin.
The pound is an amazing historic coin
Good info...
Thanks I am very excited about this video
