Comment

The East India Company and St. Helena have partnered on several new ranges of silver for sale in recent years. The Queen’s Virtues Series launched in 2021 with an image of Victory, the primary female allegory shown at the top of the Victoria Memorial near Buckingham Palace. The series is so popular that the East India Company expanded the series from 1 oz silver coins to 10 oz rectangular silver bullion coins.
