2024 Royal British Una and the Lion Classic 1839 Reimagining 1 oz Silver Bar

Description: One of the most famous coin designs in the history of The Royal Mint was introduced just two years into the reign of Queen Victoria. In 1839, William Wyon took a step away from tradition to depict the newly-crowned Queen as the Faerie Queene from the epic 16th-century poem, “The Faerie Queene.” Right now, 2024 1 oz Una and the Lion Silver Bars are available from JM Bullion. Bar Highlights: Arrives in a protective plastic sheet! First release of an Una and the Lion bar! Limited mintage of only 21,839 bars! Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver. Obverse features a unique vision of Una and the Lion. Reverse includes an iconic Latin phrase and the identifying hallmarks. Each 2024 1 oz Una and the Lion Silver Bar available here comes packaged in a protective plastic sheet. These bars are the smallest of three issues in this series and are accompanied by 10 oz and 100 oz silver options. These bars have a commemorative mintage of 21,839 bars, with the date of the original Una and the Lion British gold coin (1839) incorporated into the mintage. The 1839 Una and the Lion gold coin is renowned for its exquisite design and historical significance. The design of the Una and the Lion gold coin was inspired by Edmund Spenser’s epic poem “The Faerie Queene.” Una, a character representing truth and beauty, is depicted standing beside a majestic lion, symbolizing England’s strength and sovereignty. Obverse design elements on these 2024 Una and the Lion Silver Bars include the images of Una and the Lion. This distinctive design features the two close together in an embrace. Una is captured in left-profile relief lowering her head to rest it against the head of the mighty lion, with the beast captured in right-profile relief with a thick, massive mane. Reverse visuals on the 1 oz Una and the Lion Silver Bar include an iconic Latin phrase from the original 1839 gold coin. The words DIRIGIT DEUS GRESSUS MEOS were featured in Wyon’s original design for the gold coin and translate as MAY GOD DIRECT MY STEPS.
