The Design

The obverse of the 2027 Una and the Lion Gold Coin features the effigy of King Charles III, surrounded by the inscriptions for his name, the country of issue, the year "2027", and the coin's face value.

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. Struck in .9999 fine gold, the design takes on a radiant warmth worthy of its Victorian inspiration.
