1986 St. Helena/Ascension 5 oz Silver Napoleon Proof
Struck by the British Royal Mint in 1986, this impressive silver coin from the island of Saint Helena carries a face value of 25 pounds. Minted with a limited issue of 15,000 pieces, the coin is a substantial legal tender issue, measuring a broad 65 millimeters in diameter and containing five troy ounces of 0.999 fine silver. The reverse of the coin captures a quiet, historic moment, showing Napoleon Bonaparte gazing across the ocean as the HMS Northumberland sails into the distance. This poignant scene is paired with inscriptions marking the date of his passing on the island, May 5, 1821. On the obverse, the coin displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, representing the issuing authority of Saint Helena.
