| Additional information |
The East India Company was dissolved by the British Crown in 1858 following the Indian Rebellion, yet a revived commercial entity registered in London began issuing collectible coinage under the same name in the 2010s. These pieces carry no legal tender status in any meaningful jurisdiction and are produced purely for the collector market, trading on one of history's most loaded corporate names.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at this weight is a format common to the commemorative novelty trade.
