Comment
Since 1657, the British East India Company had received the rights to govern the island. But in early 1673, the Dutch attacked Saint Helena and occupied it for a few months. The British East India Company retook the island in May and a new Charter was given by Charles II of England that granted the island free title. So 1673 is neither discovery nor anniversary of British presence on the island, but a milestone in its history and in the Dutch-British competition for trade.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the tercentenary of the restored British rule over Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha, which is a unique historical event.
