Doogy Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I found this commerative recently from a reputable seller, but don't know the coin. I understand it is a quarter ounce of gold, and it was minted in 2000. Anyone know anything more like if the UK government minted it, and anything else? thanks!

Tiffibunny Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Looks like some kind of bullion piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morning Light Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 It's beautiful what ever it is. The image of the woman with the lion I’ve seen on another coin but can’t remember the facts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I don't know who minted it but it wasn't the UK mint. It uses the `Una and The Lion' design, famous as the Gold proof £5 coin of 1839. Only 400 pieces minted. Exceedingly rare and exceedingly expensive when ever it does come onto the market. Here's an image of a replica `Una' which is pretty much bang on for detail. Of course, it contained nearly 1.2 ounces of gold. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
