| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a coiled Indian cobra (Naja naja) with hood partially spread, facing right with forked tongue extended, set against a deeply recessed crosshatch-patterned field that creates a striking contrast with the polished relief of the serpent. A fine beaded border frames the design. The arc legend ONE OUNCE · CASH reads to the left, · 999 SILVER reads to the right, and the East India Company (EIC) cartouche mark appears at the lower right of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saint Helena's issuing authority has become a prolific vehicle for bullion and collector programs with no organic connection to the island's economy or history. This cobra piece is part of a broader "Cash India Wildlife" series, where the reverse designs draw on the visual vocabulary of old Indian cash coins — a loose historical reference to Saint Helena's role as an East India Company territory from 1659 until Crown assumption in 1834.
The Company administered the island primarily as a waystation on the Cape route. Its coinage history was thin and largely imported.
