| Additional information |
Saint Helena issued commemorative gold coinage in extremely limited quantities throughout the early 2000s, with distribution handled almost entirely through specialist dealers rather than through any local circulation channel — the island's population of roughly 4,000 had little use for a 39.94g gold piece. The 50th anniversary of the 1953 Coronation prompted a wave of issues across British Overseas Territories, and Saint Helena's remote status in the South Atlantic made its contributions among the least publicized of the group.
KM#30b denotes the gold variant within a tiered series that also appeared in silver and base metal, a common production strategy for this issuer during the period.
