Overview of the Silver Rose Crown Guinea Coin

The Silver Rose Crown Guinea Coin is a tribute to the remarkable legacy of The East India Company and its pivotal role in global trade. Officially recognized as legal tender in Saint Helena, this coin commemorates a momentous chapter in British colonial history.

Design and Details
The reverse of this coin highlights the Rose Crown Shield, accompanied by the coin’s weight and the East India Company mint mark. This mark is a symbol of the company’s established reputation for quality and purity.

On the obverse, you’ll find the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf, along with essential details like the issuing country, denomination (£1.25), and the year of minting (2018). Both sides feature the classic East India Company design, bringing a distinctive and traditional pattern to life.

Legacy of the Guinea Coin
The Guinea Coin, first struck in 1663 for King Charles II, is one of the most respected gold coinages in history. For 150 years, it was celebrated as Britain’s premier coin and symbolized the growing influence of the British Empire. The famous Latin inscription “Decus et Tutamen” (meaning “an Ornament and a Safeguard”) appears on the original gold guinea coins and continues to be featured on modern British coinage, including the gold and silver Britannia series.

A Symbol of Global Trade
The Guinea’s influence reached far beyond Britain, with its use as an international currency across the globe—from Bombay to Berlin, and Toronto to Timbuktu. Known for its purity and consistency, the Guinea was highly regarded in international trade and made The East India Company a household name.
