Shortly after the death of Emperor Xian Feng in 1861, his concubine Cixi assumed control and ruled China as The Empress Dowager. Cixi was able to read, a rare skill at that time, and educated herself on domestic and foreign affairs, creating policies that would modernise China’s culture and economy. Recognising the importance of making international trade as easy as possible she instigated changes in customs, weights and measures that enabled the creation of a standardised ‘Dragon’ Trade Dollar.

Trade Dollars had been used to facilitate international trade since the ‘Spanish Dollars’ of the 15th Century, and the first ‘Dragon’ Trade dollars were struck in 1889 with the coin’s weight in English lettering sitting beneath a traditional Chinese dragon. Now, the Chinese Trade Dollar is reimagined for 2021 by The East India Company, our stunning Proof finish emphasising every detail of a new design that features a mighty dragon encircling the globe.

This limited-edition silver 1oz coin is presented in a luxurious presentation case along with a booklet and numbered certificate of authenticity.

What does a key mean for you? The symbolic range is extremely wide. At its heart, a key is an opener of locks. Whether it’s a door, a treasure chest, or the metaphorical heart, keys let us into unknown worlds and reveal secrets. In Eastern Europe keys were hung upside down over beds to ward off bad dreams. Jewish midwives used to give a key to a woman in labour to encourage safe delivery of the baby. Several cultures have buried their dead with keys to unlock the afterlife. The ancient Greeks saw keys as symbols of knowledge.

Today they are also traditionally given to graduates, and indeed anyone at the threshold to their next adventure. In modern romantic notion a key is often considered as “the key to my heart”. This is a love symbol much like the heart symbol. So whatever the occasion, thanks to the enhanced smartminting® technology you can use this 1 oz coin in antique finish to make your own meanings.

The 2023 $5 Siren 2oz Silver Proof Coin, our latest nautical masterpiece, celebrates the mythical sea siren - a creature of deadly beauty. The Siren originates in ancient Greek mythology - a wicked temptress who takes the form of a half-woman, half-bird. The Roman poet Ovid wrote that the Sirens were once the human companions of Persephone, the daughter of the goddess Demeter. When Persephone was stolen by Hades, the God of the underworld, Demeter turned the Sirens into birds as punishment. The legend of the Siren, as the creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with the irresistible sweetness of their song, was further disseminated through the works of Homer, when the hero Odysseus faced them in his long journey back to Ithaca. In modern times, the Siren is often portrayed as a stunning, but lethal, mermaid – the quintessential temptress capable of luring hardened sailors to their death with her hypnotic song. It is this desirable denizen of the deep that has been brilliantly depicted on the reverse of this spectacularly struck Niue legal tender coin.

Allow us to delight with the tale of the «Imperial Coronation Egg», a remarkable masterpiece crafted by the gifted Peter Carl Fabergé. This splendid creation marks the 5th edition of this extraordinary series and exudes the opulence of a bygone era.

In 1897, this Fabergé marvel was presented as a gift to the last Russian Tsarina of the Romanov dynasty in homage to the resplendent golden robe she wore during her coronation.
Crafted from a medley of multicoloured gold, adorned with dazzling diamonds, and graced with delicate Guilloche ornaments, this egg embodies the elegance of its time.

Today, this treasure, with a worth of approximately 18 million dollars, is in possession of Victor Vekselberg and is residing in the Museum of St. Petersburg, where the «Imperial Coronation Egg» captivates the hearts of all who visit.
But there is yet another exquisite secret concealed within the original – a detailed miniature replica of the coronation carriage.
