The East India Company
Collections is proud to present the latest issue in our celebrated ‘Una &
the Lion’ series. We are launching this year an invitation to coin designers to
reimagine this

ancient legend to give
the story of heroic Una and her devoted companion The Lion a fresh,
contemporary twist.

 

The 2024 Una & the
Lion has been created this year by artist Carroll Hutchings. Her elegant,
determined Una sits beside the powerful but poised lion as the pair look out
towards you, almost

making direct eye
contact with you! Do you feel their fierce bond and steely determination? This
modern retelling of this ancient partnership captures the inseparable
connection and unwavering courage at the heart of the medieval legend of this
brave princess and the mighty beast by her side.

 

The legend of Una &
the Lion dates back to the 16th Century and Edmund Spencer’s epic poem The
Faerie Queen, a classic work of medieval English literature. At over 36,000
lines long, its six books contain one of the longest poems in the English language,
each book telling stories of different knights on their various quests to prove
or demonstrate their particular virtues. As a

whole, it is believed to
be an allegory of the life and achievements of Queen Elizabeth I, but it is in
Book One where we meet the heroic figure of Una.

 

Una is a beautiful
princess on a quest to save her mother and father from a cruel dragon who has
imprisoned them in a tower. To help her defeat the dragon, she searches for the
Red Crosse knight, whose destiny is to become St. George, the patron saint of
England. While on her journey Una enters a dark secluded wood, where she
encounters a fierce lion who launches an attack on her. However, before he is
able to leap upon his prey his initial rage is replaced by wonder, his anger
subdued as he is instantly captivated by Una’s beauty and innocence. Instead of
tearing her to pieces, he kisses her weary feet and licks her hands. He becomes
her strong guard and faithful companion, forever by her side, filling
