The most coveted coin in the set, and one of the most-wanted of all British gold coins, is the Una and the Lion gold five pounds coin carrying the legend Dirige translating as May God Direct My Steps.
Pictured above is a “good, extremely fine” example included in Baldwin’s of St James’s ‘Premier’ sale on September 22. Alone it is estimated at £150,000- 200,000. In March this year an Una and the Lion five pounds coin left its estimate far behind when it fetched £170,000 at DNW.
