| Additional information |
The East India Company ceased to exist as a trading and governing entity in 1858, dissolved by the British Crown following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The modern "East India Company" behind this issue is a luxury goods brand registered in London in 2010, with no institutional continuity to the historical corporation. These coins are struck for the collectibles market under a Saint Helena-issued legal tender framework — the pound denomination references Saint Helena, a British Overseas Territory the original Company administered from 1659 until 1834.
