Obverse

On the obverse of 2023 2 oz Proof Una and the Lion Coins a portrait of King Charles III is featured. Charles was coronated on May 6^th, 2023. Following the historic 70-year reign of his mother Elizabeth, Charles is now officially the 13^th monarch in British history.

Reverse

History

Considered a masterpiece of the English literary canon, The Faerie Queene recounts the adventures of several knights, including the Guyon, Triamond, and the iconic Redcrosse. But many readers most fondly remember Una, who embarks on her own quest in Book I. During the journey, she meets a lion, who is tamed by her virtue before becoming her trusted companion.
