Saint Helena Sovereign 1.25 oz Silver Coin
- This beautiful one and a quarter ounce silver Sovereign coin is official legal tender of Saint Helena, a small British Island territory of unspoiled beauty situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. First discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, the island was fortified by The East India Company after being awarded a charter to govern the island by Oliver Cromwell. The island became an essential refueling port for The East India Company ships and foreign merchants on route to the East serving as a vital lifeline to passing ships on the long journey home. Today Saint Helena remains most famous as the impregnable Bastille which held Napoleon captive following the Battle of Waterloo until he died in 1821.
