Silver Ounce 2022 Queen's Virtues - Justice, Coin from Saint Helena
CoinSilver Ounce 2022 Queen's Virtues - Justice

Saint Helena is a small island in the South Atlantic Ocean which is part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The currency of the island is the Saint Helena pound, fixed at parity with the pound sterling. The island has authorised some private mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the popular silver ounce (1 oz silver) format, usually denominated as £1.

This design is the fourth in The Queen's Virtues Series and represents Justice.

The Mint says about it:
The allegorical presentation of the Queen’s six virtues was first presented on the Victoria Memorial, situated outside Buckingham Palace. Designed after Queen Victoria’s death in 1901, The Winged Angel of Victory is featured at the very top of the monument and crouched at her feet are the allegorical figures of Courage and Constancy. Courage wears a helmet and bears a club, while Constancy holds a ship’s compass, and both have cloaks swirling out in the breeze. Beneath stand personifications of Justice, Truth and Charity. Designed and sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, he described the symbolism of the monument as devoted to the “qualities which made our Queen so great and so much beloved".

The design of this coin is inspired by Brock’s statue. Justice is represented by an angel carrying a sword in her left hand. Her right hand protects the weak and oppressed, while the scales of Justice are carried by the child at her side.

All coins in the series have been designed by Dutch medallist Elles Kloosterman.

Obverse
Saint Helena / Silver Ounce 2022 Queen's Virtues - Justice - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: QUEEN ELIZABETH II · ST. HELENA · ONE POUND · 2022 ·.

Obverse Inscription QUEEN ELIZABETH II · ST. HELENA · ONE POUND · 2022 ·
Reverse

The reverse design depicts the allegorical figure of Justice - a winged helmeted angel, holding a large sword in her left hand. A small child on the right carries the scales of justice.

Around right, the inscription FIAT IUSTITIA - translated from Latin, "let justice be done".

In the rim on the left, the EIC mint mark of the East India Company; the letters are separated by arrows radiating from the centre around which they are situated.
