| Additional information |
The East India Company ceased trading operations in 1874 and was formally dissolved as a legal entity, yet the brand was revived in the early 21st century as a luxury goods firm and has since been licensing its name for privately minted bullion and commemorative issues. These coins carry no legal tender status in any recognized jurisdiction — the "1 Pound" denomination is decorative rather than functional, and the EIC imprimatur here is commercial, not sovereign.
