t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 5:17 pm A few question about what I think to be the most beautiful coin ever: 1. how many were minted? 2. what is the survival rate? 3. what are its specs? 4. how much it worth currently? alternatively, can someone please post a link to a site listing this info? thanks for your time Report this Post to the Staff

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 6:29 pm looks like I need more info than I thought! I thought the 1836(?) gold 5 ponds was the only one with that design and nickname Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 6:55 pm I think the one you are talking about is the 1839.. but I don't have any answers to your questions about it. This link has some history and pictures (one of a silver striking): http://www.spink.com/news/current_n...e%20Lion.asp There have more recent ones made with elements of the same design: http://www.pandaamerica.com/details...p=1&categ=10 Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 6:56 pm Victoria ascended in 1837 and the "Una" was issued in 1839. It was only a part of cased proof sets, the mintage figures are not exactly known but are very low. There's a number of varieties as well as similar pieces struck in various metals. Those are regarded as patterns, particularly pattern crowns as the coin bears no mark of value. Report this Post to the Staff
