The Design

The reverse presents the timeless Una and the Lion design, based on William Wyon's 1839 masterpiece. The scene depicts Queen Victoria as the maiden Una, guiding a mighty lion — an allegory of strength guided by innocence and virtue, drawn from Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene. The inscriptions may include "UNA AND THE LION" and the coin's weight and purity, rendered with the Royal Mint's signature precision and craftsmanship.
