This year marks the 200th anniversary of Queen Victorias birth, which makes it a special time in British culture. Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years and seven months, which set a record for the longest reign for any British monarch. To celebrate the occasion, Pobjoy Mint is releasing a special series of reverse proof frosted silver coins bearing one of the most iconic coin designs from Queen Victorias 19th-century reign. Today, you can purchase the 2019 British Virgin Islands Frosted Una and the Lion 2 oz Silver Coin in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
Highlights:
The coins in this listing will ship in protective plastic flips, mint tubes of 12 coins, or boxes of 360 coins. Each of these coins ship in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with reverse frosted finishes.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II, the current ruling monarch, is featured on the obverse of these coins. This design is exclusive to Pobjoy Mint. As the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning monarch back in 2012.
Reverse
The image on the reverse of each coin is that of Queen Victoria as Lady Una from the poem The Faerie Queene, which was written in 1590. This design by William Wyon shows the Queen with a scepter in her right hand that she uses to guide the lion. Above the image is the Latin phrase Dieu Et Mon Droit, which translates to God on my Right.
History
The William Wyon design featured on these coins from the British Virgin Islands by Pobjoy Mint was made to honor the design on coinage from the time when Queen Victoria was ruling over Great Britain. Pobjoy Mint is the only private minting facility in Great Britain, and it is the largest family-owned private mint in all of Europe.
