| 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 entity bearing its name is a privately registered British luxury brand with no governmental authority — meaning this coin, though legal tender under a licensing arrangement, originates from a commercial operation rather than a sovereign mint or issuing government.
The "Victory" designation references the end of World War II, a commemorative angle that had no historical connection to the original Company, which had been dissolved nearly a century before 1945.
