Hi all, St. Helena is the island where Napoleon was exiled to.. Where he died. ANA World's fair of Money acquisition -
Nice piece - I also find it amusing how the "issuer" uses the name of the EIC. It even has its own store. Chocolates, cookies, coins ... Ah well, an ounce is an ounce. Christian
I'm not sure how you equate the "Issuer" with a Tea Shop in London. https://boldpreciousmetals.com/product/2018-silver-st-helena-spade-guinea-1-oz/ These are marketed as a commorative Piece.

That is why I used the inverted commas. Right, St. Helena issues those coins. But as for the "new EIC" that they refer to, have a look at the links I provided in my previous post.

But as I wrote, with bullion pieces the amount/weight is more important. And if the design is appealing, even better ... Christian
