2023 Saint Helena £1 1-oz Silver Modern U.S. Trade Dollar Proof

A Modern Tribute To America’s Trade Dollar

During its heyday in the 1880s, the U.S. Morgan Silver Dollar saw widespread use in American commerce. But did you know it wasn’t the only U.S. silver dollar in circulation at the time? For just six years between 1873 and 1878, the U.S. Mint struck a special silver Trade Dollar. This coin was not meant to circulate here in the United States; but was intended for circulation overseas as a way to establish trade and compete with other major world coins. Now, more than 145 years later, the legacy of that coin is being honored with a series of coins featuring a modern interpretation the classic U.S. trade Dollar.

A Modern Interpretation Of A Classic Design

This fabulous coin was struck by the East India Company (EIC) in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It’s the fourth release in a series featuring modern interpretations of classic Trade Dollars. The reverse features a contemporary rendition of Lady Liberty, reflecting the modern diversity of the United States. Her wavy hair tumbles freely over one shoulder to become clouds, against which flies an eagle, the proud and independent symbol of the United States, with an outline of North America in the background. This engaging design pays tribute to America’s original late 19th Century Trade Dollars that featured an attractive design created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver William Barber that depicted Liberty offering an olive branch across the sea while seated next to bales of wheat and other American traded goods.

About The East India Company

Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I, England’s East India Company was formed in 1600 to serve as a trading body for English merchants involved in the East Indian spice trade in Southeast Asia and India. The company eventually became a monopoly so powerful that it spearheaded British Imperialism in India from the early 1700s until the mid-1800s. It even outfitted its own army! While the original East India Company ceased to be a legal entity in 1873, it was relaunched in 2010 as a marketing company that, among other products, specializes in precious metal bullion. And, in addition to the exciting design, it also features the words “TRADE DOLLAR” on one side while the coin’s obverse shows a portrait of King Charles III along with the coin’s date, “ONE POUND” legal-tender denomination, and country of issue—Saint Helena, a volcanic tropical island nation in the South Atlantic Ocean that is part of the British Overseas Territory.
