The East India Company Collections is delighted to introduce The Faerie Queene, a new series of precious metal coins inspired by Edmund Spenser’s epic medieval poem. Taking inspiration from Edmund Spenser’s epic 16th Century poem, this exclusive new coin series will feature knights, princesses, mythical beasts and magical villains, their stories brought to life in a collection of illustrative designs by one of the world’s most celebrated coin artists, Joel Iskowitz.

This first coin in our series starts, as it should, at the beginning. Book One tells the story of The Redcrosse Knight and the quest he is given by The Faerie Queene on behalf of the lady Una; to rescue her parents from the captivity of an evil dragon.

That legendary moment is beautifully captured in this exclusive new design by Joel Iskowitz, available now as a limited edition 1oz Silver Proof Coin, presented in a bespoke case alongside a booklet and certificate of authenticity
WO ICONS IN COINAGE UNITED FOR THE FIRST TIME,Both Una and St George have graced coinage for centuries, most famously as Beneditto Pistrucci’s classical ‘St George & the Dragon’ Sovereign and William Wyon’s renowned ‘Una & the Lion’ tribute to Queen Victoria. This unique capsule collection brings these two iconic characters together in unison for the fi¬rst time ever on a coin to tell the story of The Faerie Queen – the legendary tale explaining why St George slayed the Dragon. Comprising of four coin designs, issued over 2 -3 years, each coin features the key moments in this epic tale of chivalry, adventure, honor and romance beautifully depicted by the talented artist, Joel Iskowitz whose creative style and detail reflects the essence of this period in history in illustrative storytelling. 2022 FAERIE QUEEN UNA & REDCROSSE.

Reproduction of the painting "Winter" by Vilhelms Purvītis, using colour print.

This release is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the painter, Vilhelms Purvītis.

Vilhelms Purvītis (1872-1945) was one of the key figures of Latvian visual art in the first half of the 20th century, and the founder and modernizer of Latvian landscape painting.

The obverse features a colorized reproduction of the painting “Winter," with elements such as the majestic lacy birch trees, the glistening lake, and the overcast winter sky. The painting has been transferred to the coin using glaze, texture and mirror surface, of varying intensity.

The reverse shows the plaster model of the same painting with several types of surfaces, worked in different ways, to a more or less intensified glaze effect.

As marigolds turn their heads to follow the trajectory of the sun from east to west, they suggest things are moving forward. Combined with their bright colours, this has led to meanings of joy, gratitude, warmth, affection, peace, protection, contentment and understanding. It’s little wonder that some people refer to the third flower in the Language of Flowers series as ‘the sunshine herb’.

Marigolds encompass numerous plants from entirely different species, the two most common being Calendula and Tagetes. They both belong to the Asteraceae family, are easily mistaken for one another and have many common properties. Conveniently, the two species also have the same basic meanings in the language of flowers, many of which focus on positivity and patience. With their golden hues and positive energy, marigolds are said to bring light into any situation and have the ability to illuminate and guide us when faced with challenges.

Their strong connection with the sun means that marigolds are also associated with heat, passion, sex and love. Apparently, both Calendula and Tagetes can be used in spells relating to passion, creativity and warmth and have also been used in love potions and spells to maintain devotion for the long term. Marigolds also have multiple culinary uses and health benefits, and these cheerful, exceptionally long-flowering and easy-to-grow flowers are perfect for brightening our gardens and homes.

Symbolising positivity, the coin’s obverse shows a young woman with her eyes closed and flowers in her hair enjoying the scent of a marigold. Next to an ornamental side image of a marigold, the reverse of the coin features a pair of marigolds, both of which are imprints of real flowers.

With this new addition to our portfolio, we visually embody the natural balance with the representation of opposites. On the front, the classic white swan parades its flattering plumage, whereas the back features a unique black swan. No doubt the rare sight of black swans is owed to the fact they are only very seldom found beyond Australia and New Zealand. The natural balance is wonderfully mirrored with this beautiful piece of art.
