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 large silver five ounces (5 oz silver) format, usually denominated as £5.
The coins listed below are "bullion", i.e. issued at prices comparable to the intrinsic value of their precious metal content. For coins issued at a premium (for collectors), see the Silver Five Ounces - Non-Circulating Legal-Tender (NCLT) section. |
