The first release of an Una and the Lion coin design came in Britain in the 19^th century. To honor the start of Queen Victorias reign in 1837, William Wyon designed a new image of Queen Victoria as Lady Una from the tale The Faerie Queene. This image was briefly used on gold 5 Pound coins from the Royal Mint in 1839.
