Saint Helena - 1973 - 25 Pence - 27.9 g - Copper-Nickel - 38.6 mm - KM# 5

This Mint Brilliant Uncirculated crown was commemorating the Tercentenary (300th Year) of restored British Rule (1673-1973)

Historical notes:  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

The reverse of the coin depicts a Ship sailing to the right between two islets, with legend around and value below (the ship bears the flag of the British East India Company on the stern); while the obverse features portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with legend around

The coin comes inside square hard plastic Jewel Case with black background

Please look at the pictures - just a beautiful uncirculated coin
