| Additional information |
Saint Helena issued this piece in 1984 as part of a limited gold striking program tied to the island's colonial administration under the Crown, not as circulating currency. The island's economy was — and remains — heavily dependent on British budgetary aid, making a 47-gram gold coin a curious artifact of administrative prestige rather than monetary function.
KM#12 exists in multiple metal variants; the base circulation type in cupro-nickel saw far greater production runs, making this .917 gold iteration a low-mintage collector issue almost certainly struck to order.
