Silver Ounce 2021 Cash - The Elephant, Coin from Saint Helena - detailed information
| ||||||||||||
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 Elephant as a representative of Indian Wildlife. The Elephant is considered a cultural icon of India and symbolises divinity, power and luck. Indian elephants (genus Elephas) differ significantly from African elephants (genus Loxodanta): their physique is smaller and lighter, their ears are smaller and only the males have tusks. Similar to Africa, however, elephants in Asia are severely threatened by massive habitat loss, poaching and the illegal trade in ivory. The population in the wild has already declined by at least 50%, which is why they are currently listed as "endangered". The coins in the series are designed by Nick Martin, based on drawings of the animals by Veronica Mackinnon. | ||||||||||||
