The 300-year-old partnership between the island of St. Helena and the modern East India Company (EIC) has been renewed in the 21st century.

Obverse

His Majesty King Charles III is presented on the obverse of the 2023 2 oz Silver Una and the Lion Coin. Following his ascension to the throne in September 2022, the king underwent his official coronation ceremony in May of the following year.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2023 St. Helena Silver Una and the Lion Coin, the figures of Una and the Lion are shown together in a front-facing relief. The lion stands tall on Una’s left, while she holds onto the animal’s mane with her left arm.

History

The story of Una and the Lion is often interpreted as an allegory for the triumph of truth over falsehood, as Una’s quest for the Redcrosse Knight represents the pursuit of a just cause, while the lion symbolizes the power of truth to overcome all obstacles. The poem is also notable for its rich imagery and use of language, which have made it a classic of English literature.
