Some of the smallest islands in the world have outsized profiles in the modern precious metals market. St. Helena is a prime example, offering silver bullion coins that attract collectors and investors. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase St. Helena Silver Coins directly from customers, offering fast, secure payouts and 100% guaranteed valuations.
The early coins issued on behalf of St. Helena featured Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. As of 2023, coins now feature King Charles III, designed by Glyn Davies, capturing the monarch in left-profile relief without a crown. DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS buys coins with either effigy, offering prompt and fair evaluations.
One of St. Helena’s earliest collections is the Trade Dollar Series. These coins are restruck 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and feature five historic designs:
St. Helena’s longstanding ties to the United Kingdom are reflected in the Spade Guinea collection, one of its most enduring series. The guinea, first introduced in 17th-century England, was the nation’s first machine-struck gold coin and remained a key currency in international trade for over a century. During the reign of King George III, a redesign of the Royal Arms on the reverse gave the coin its distinctive “spade” shape, earning it the nickname Spade Guinea.
The St. Helena Spade Guinea Series includes gold bullion coins as well as 1 oz and 1/10 oz silver options, all issued with no mintage limits. The 1 oz silver coin debuted in 2018, followed by the 1/10 oz silver coin in 2020. The series maintains consistent designs each year:
The 2020 Una and the Lion coin is a recent commemorative release that revisits one of the most iconic designs from Queen Victoria’s reign. Originally, the design depicted the Queen alongside a majestic lion, inspired by the story of Una and the Lion, and became widely celebrated early in her rule.
On the obverse of the 2020 release is the effigy of Queen Victoria’s great-granddaughter and England’s current longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. This particular portrait, created by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint in 2015, shows the Queen at age 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.
St. Helena and the East India Company have recently introduced silver coins in the form of rectangular bars. Known as the St. Helena Rectangular East India Company Coins, these silver bar-shaped coins are offered in 250-gram (8.037 troy oz) and 10 troy oz sizes. The reverse features an image of a historic East India Company sailing vessel, while the obverse showcases the classic Raphael Maklouf effigy of Queen Elizabeth II from 1985.
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s death, St. Helena issued the Napoleon Angel Silver Coin. The obverse displays Raphael Maklouf’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse depicts a scene inspired by Napoleon’s tomb at Les Invalides in France. Exiled to St. Helena after his second defeat in Europe, Napoleon died on the island in 1821, and his remains were later returned to France in the 1840s. The coin’s reverse shows an angel resting its left hand on a headstone marked with an “N,” honoring Napoleon’s legacy.
The East India Company’s latest release for St. Helena is the Queen’s Virtues Series, a six-coin collection showcasing new reverse designs inspired by the Victoria Memorial on The Mall in London. Unveiled in 1911 to honor Queen Victoria after her passing in 1901, the memorial features a gilded bronze statue of the female allegory Winged Victory. At her feet are Constancy and Courage, also rendered in gilded bronze, while the base displays allegorical figures representing Justice, Truth, and Charity.
All coins in the series share the same obverse: Raphael Maklouf’s third-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse designs feature:
The historic East India Company was once among the world’s largest economic powers and is the only company ever granted the right to mint its coins. In 1601, Queen Elizabeth I issued a Royal Charter giving the Company this authority. Fifty-six years later, under Oliver Cromwell, the Company was granted permission to fortify and settle St. Helena, establishing it as a critical resupply base for ships traveling between the British Isles and the East Indies. The island became a vital hub for both the East India Company and the British Empire.
In 1821, the East India Company issued St. Helena’s first local currency, a batch of over 700,000 halfpennies. Coin production ended in 1874 when Parliament dissolved the Company. However, in 2012, the East India Company revived its coining tradition, launching new silver and gold bullion collections. Today, it collaborates with St. Helena’s issuing authority to produce the beautiful bullion series featured here.
