closed 1/4 Una and the lion pf 69


Recommended Posts

That was one of the Hattons of London marketing company’s Una and the Lion series which was marketed as the world’s first 24 carat sovereign coins. They also have a VR Victoria Regina mintmark on them, along with the name of the coin size (quarter sov on this one). 

Having acquired a full size Una I was not best pleased to see various private Mints subsequently pushing them out in all sizes and with various mintmark tweaks. There were some EIC (East India Company) mintmark ones too.

My research closer to the time indicated that Hattons had an original mintage limitation of 2,999 quarter sovs, rising to 4,999 worldwide if they could flog any more. Their sales price was all over the place, commencing with an introductory price of £99, followed by £199 thereafter and a website price of £299 prior to sell out.  

Own it and Love it.
