Released by Hattons of London to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria Coin 3: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, Sovereign 2019. Hattons of London. Proof. Una and the Lion. Mintage: 2,019. 22 mm. 7.34 g. 999/1000 Gold. (AGW=0.2358 oz.) Released by Hattons of London to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria Coin 4: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, 2 Pounds (Double Sovereign) 2019. Hattons of London. Proof Una & the Lion. Mintage: 399. 32 mm. 14.67 g. 999/1000 Gold. (AGW=0.4712 oz.) The depiction of Victoria as Lady Una, calmly directing the enormous beast by her side, the Lion (representing England), was a clever analogy, using the characters from Edmund Spenser's poem The Faerie Queene (written in 1590). It was the first time in history a British monarch was depicted on a coin as a fictional character. The Alderney 5 pound is certainly equally as impressive as the Royal Mint's version and it is in our opinion vastly underrated. Considering the relative affordability of this coin, it seems to offer an attractive investment proposition to the collector-investor of top British material. Coin 5: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, 5 Pounds 2019. The Commonwealth Mint. Proof Una & the Lion. Mintage: 400. 36.02 mm. 39.94 g. 917/1000 Gold. (AGW=1.1771 oz.) Total gross weight: 67.45 g.
