1.25 oz Silver SEATED BRITANNIA Coin St Helena (Random Year)

Issued by the East India Company, the Seated Britannia Silver coin is a unique tribute to both British and colonial history. This coin series, first introduced in recent years, draws inspiration from historical coinage that circulated in British-controlled territories, particularly India, during the 19th century. The design of Britannia seated beside a shield is a classic icon that symbolizes British strength, maritime prowess, and its expanding empire.

The coin's design hearkens back to the British Trade Dollar, which circulated from 1895 to 1935 in British territories across Asia, including India, Hong Kong, and the Straits Settlements. The East India Company, instrumental in Britain's colonial endeavors, issued the currency that represented British commerce and influence in the region. The Seated Britannia figure on these coins is adapted from that history, now representing a modern collector's piece honoring the legacy of trade and empire.
