2021 St. Helena £1 1-oz Silver Modern Chinese Trade Dollar Proof
A Modern Tribute To China’s Dragon Trade Dollar
First issued in 1889, Chinese silver trade coins were originally struck using British equipment. The goal of the coins — created at the request of the indomitable Empress Dowager Cixi — was to allow China to trade more efficiently with the rest of the world. Now, more than 130 years later, those coins are being honored with a new series of coins featuring modern interpretations of classic Chinese trade Dollars.
A Modern Interpretation Of A Classic Design
A short description that says each coin features an Eastern Dragon holding the Pearl of Wisdom might make some collectors of vintage coins shrug and say, “So what?” After all, that describes the description of the coins issued more than a century ago. But one look at this sleek new design of a curving and twisting dragon encircling a globe clutching the flaming Pearl of Wisdom while a background of China hovers in the background is sure to change their minds!
Struck In A Full Ounce Of Pure Silver
Struck by the prestigious Tower Mint, one of Great Britain’s leading private mints and the last remaining mint in London, each coin available here was crafted from a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. 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 Queen Elizabeth II 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.
