RE: 2025 Una and the Lion 1oz Silver Bullion Minted Bar

I am glad you liked the .999 fine silver one, @matthew1. I liked the two others because they are made of 999.9 fine silver. The design is incidental. Silver is silver.
Shown below is the original 1839 Una and the Lion. "Una and the Lion" design is a renowned piece of numismatic art. It was created by William Wyon, Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint, and was featured on a limited series of gold coins during the reign of Queen Victoria.

This gold one is really nice, I need to brush up on my American numismatics. I am European, after all. I am glad to learn something new. Don't you think there is a bit too much going on with these silver ones?
It's relative... it appeals to some people. The source given above is American, but the coin is European... so are the silver bars.
If the coin is from Europe, it must be from Great Britain. The two subjects I haven't touched on are the UK and the US. I feel I am an absolute moron on the subject, so forgive me. I feel the same way about history. I can name all the German, Russian, Polish and Austrian rulers in succession, but the British I know of 4 max. In any case, I promise that once I have collected the Austrian and Russian circuits, I will take on the uk and the usa.
