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 premium bullion coin is part of the Cash Coin Collection featuring the Treasures of India, and has The Peacock as a representative of Indian Wildlife. The oldest ornamental bird in the world originally comes from India. Male animals are characterised by their decorative plumage, which serves as a protection against predators and for courtship. The coins in the series are designed by Nick Martin, based on drawings of the animals by Veronica Mackinnon. | ||||||||||||
