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. Some of them are non-standard and/or one-off issues in silver, such as this one. This bullion silver coin denominated as £1.25 is part of the Rose Crown Guinea coin range by The East India Company. The guinea was once the most respected and internationally recognised coinage in the world. First issued in 1663 during the reign of King Charles II, the guinea gold coins went through various designs and were issued by England and its many overseas colonies for nearly 200 years. The gold coin was the first machine-coin gold piece from the Royal Mint and it would eventually become an international symbol of Great Britain's growing power and influence during the 17th and 18th centuries. | ||||||||||||
