One of the most sought after commemorative coins ever issued, the Una & Lion £5 Crown was released by The Royal Mint to celebrate the beginning of the reign of Queen Victoria in 1839. Towards the end of 2020, an original Una & Lion sold for more than USD$1 million at auction... Needless to say, this is a beloved coin and beloved design! And therefore perfect for the first addition in a silver bar series reflecting the Great Engravers.
Struck in a traditional rectangular silver bullion format, this huge TEN OUNCE bar takes William Wyon's original Una & Lion design and updates it for the modern era. A beautiful silver piece and, given the design's provenance, a certain sell-out of the global mintage of just 6,100.
Please note: This bar has oxidised slightly on one edge, due to improper packaging. See pics for details.
