Brand-New Series From the East India Company

 

Struck in a full ounce of 99.9% pure silver, this fantastic first-year entry in a new series honors one of the most widely circulated trade coins of all time – the British Silver Trade Dollar! First struck in 1895, the British Silver Trade Dollar was used exclusively in the Far East and became THE symbol of Great Britain’s vast trading business in the Orient.

 

Struck in shimmering silver, this $1 Niue legal-tender coin is a restrike of the original Trade Dollar. This new five-year series will continue with designs featuring the Japanese, Chinese, French-Indonesian and U.S. Trade Dollars.

 

It’s estimated that around 250 million British Silver trade dollars were struck between 1895 and 1937, but due to heavy circulation exclusively in the Far East, very few have seen the light of day in the West. Finding one in nice condition today and securing it for your collection could take years. Just recently an 1895 original in Mint State-62 condition sold for nearly $1,000! Here’s your chance to secure a design inspired by the original, adjusted to add the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, and additional details such as the year and nation of issue.

 

Just 2,500 proof coins are available worldwide release – an incredibly limited mintage for students of history, coin collectors and silver stackers! Don’t miss this chance to secure one for your collection!

 

  • FIRST-EVER RELEASE OF NEW SERIES – This is the first coin in a brand new series from the East India Company struck on behalf of the island nation of Niue. Firsts are always important and this first-ever release is fabulous.

 

  • EXCITING DESIGN OF GREAT BRITAIN’S FAR EAST TRADING EMPIRE – The design of this coin is a restrike of the original British Silver Trade Dollar. Its reverse design depicts Britannia, the protector of Great Britain and the equivalent of America’s lady Liberty. The obverse features a portrait Queen Elizabeth II with an arabesque design reminiscent of the original Trade Dollar design originally issued in 1895.

 

  • STRUCK IN PURE SILVER – Your 2018 Niue One-Ounce Silver British Trade Dollar Proof is struck in one ounce of 99.9% silver.
