Saint Helena's "Truth" pound belongs to a series of allegorical issues produced for the island under the authority of the Saint Helena Government — a jurisdiction that has leaned heavily on collector-market silver rounds since the 1980s to generate revenue that far exceeds anything a remote South Atlantic island economy could sustain through circulation coinage alone. The island's own economic history is inseparable from its role as a strategic British outpost, most famously as Napoleon's final place of exile from 1815 until his death in 1821.
KM# 107 is a bullion-adjacent issue with no circulation function.
