Saint Helena 1/10 oz Silver Spade Guinea Shield BU(Random Year)
The historic legacy of British coinage comes alive in this tenth-ounce silver piece from Saint Helena. Struck in 0.999 fine silver, the coin features a design that traces its ancestry back to 1663, when the very first Guinea was minted during the reign of King Charles II. This modern tribute honors that rich lineage with a combination of classic heraldry and intricate patterning. On the reverse, the central focus is the famous Spade Guinea Shield, a design variation originally debuted by King George III in 1787. Surrounding the shield is a traditional pattern associated with the East India Company, alongside the company's distinctive mint mark. The inscriptions on this side clearly note the weight of one tenth of an ounce and the high purity of the silver. The obverse presents the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf. This side also incorporates the traditional East India Company pattern, mirroring the reverse design. Legible inscriptions on the obverse confirm the issuing territory of Saint Helena, the face value of 10 Pounds, and the year of issue, making this Brilliant Uncirculated coin a fascinating study in monetary history.
