| Additional information |
The East India Company ceased to exist as a trading and governing body in 1858, wound up by the British Crown following the Indian Rebellion of the previous year. The modern "East India Company" that issues these coins is a luxury goods brand registered in London with no legal or historical continuity to the original chartered company — a commercial revival in name only.
The Napoleon Angel series draws on the storied Angel coinage of medieval England, last struck for circulation under Charles I. This 2021 issue is a privately minted bullion product, not legal tender in any conventional sense despite the face value denomination.
