Solomon Global offers limited allocation of signed Una and the Lion 2027 gold coins

Solomon Global has announced the release of a limited allocation of signed Una and the Lion 2027 one-ounce gold bullion coins. The coins, produced by The Royal Mint, feature the signature of Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver at The Royal Mint, and are available exclusively through Solomon Global. Each coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as a First Day of Issue release.

The Una and the Lion design first appeared in 1839 to mark the start of Queen Victoria's reign. It was the first British coin to depict a reigning monarch as a fictional character, portraying Victoria as Lady Una from Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. For the 2027 edition, The Royal Mint has recreated William Wyon RA's original design. The reverse shows Lady Una guiding a lion, while the obverse features the effigy of King Charles III by sculptor Martin Jennings.

According to Solomon Global, the signed editions will be the only coins from the 2027 bullion release to feature Gordon Summers' signature. The company said collector interest in Royal Mint reinterpretations of historic coin designs has remained strong in recent years, with Una and the Lion among the Mint's most recognisable designs.

Paul Williams, managing director of Solomon Global, said: "The 2027 bullion release of Una and the Lion is a significant event for coin collectors and investors. The response to the Angel coin this year demonstrates the appetite for The Royal Mint's historic designs, while Una and the Lion's rich heritage and the success of the 2019 Great Engravers Collection make the return of this coin especially exciting.

"While there have been several imitation releases by Crown Dependency Mints, The Royal Mint's Una and the Lion carries a much greater historic and numismatic importance. The 2027 release also marks 190 years since Queen Victoria's accession and 150 years since she was formally proclaimed Empress of India, giving the coin added significance. We're delighted to offer Solomon Global customers this exceptional piece with the added distinction of a signature from the Mint's Chief Engraver."

The coins are available through Solomon Global's website.
