| 正面铭文 | £1 ST. HELENA · KING CHARLES III · 2024 · ONE OUNCE 999 SILVER |
| 背面描述 | A large eagle with spread wings perches boldly facing left on a log or branch, rendered in high relief with finely engraved feather detail, closely inspired by the iconic eagle type of the ancient Shekel of Tyre. The field behind the eagle is decorated with the same rectilinear meander guilloche pattern as the obverse. A beaded border frames the design, and a Greek legend in archaic-style lettering is distributed around the periphery, reading ΙΕΡΑΣ ΤΥΡΟΥ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ, meaning 'Of holy inviolable Tyre', directly echoing the inscription of the original Phoenician shekel. |

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.
