Silver Ounce 2018 US Trade Dollar, Coin from Saint Helena - detailed information

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The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the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 · 2018 ·.

There is a wide rim around the effigy, decorated in Oriental fashion with a "key" pattern.

Surrounded by an "Oriental"-style border with a "key" pattern, the reverse of the coin shows the seated figure of Miss Liberty on a pedestal. Behind her, a sheaf of wheat. Around, thirteen stars representing the original thirteen of the United States.

Around, between the central design and the Oriental rim, the inscription THE EAST INDIA COMPANY · TRADE DOLLAR ·.

Finish: Brilliant Uncirculated.
