1 Pound - Charles III Shekel of Tyre, 1 oz Fine Silver

The Shekel of Tyre was the coin required by Jewish law for the annual Temple tax in first-century Jerusalem — a detail that made it simultaneously sacred and controversial, since Roman-era Judeans had to specifically seek out this Phoenician currency for religious purposes while Roman coinage was considered ritually unacceptable for Temple tribute. Saint Helena, a South Atlantic island with no historical connection to Phoenicia or Second Temple Judaism, has become a prolific issuer of bullion-adjacent commemoratives precisely because its mint authority operates outside the constraints of any major numismatic tradition.
