Struck in brilliant proof quality, the reverse side of this silver, one ounce silver coin features an exceptionally detailed depiction of a Japanese dragon as found on the first trade dollar. It is surrounded by a traditional oriental patterned ornate border which appears on each Trade Dollar in the collection.
Engraved with a uniquely patterned obverse which includes an elegant effigy of HM Queen Elizabeth II created by British sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the 2019-dated Japanese Trade Dollar 1oz silver proof coins have a limited mintage of just 1500 presentation pieces.
A lasting tribute to a currency born out of commerce and trade, The East India Company’s 2019 Japanese Trade Dollar is part of a five-coin series and is certain to stand out as one of the collection’s most admired pieces.
