John Conduitt Posted September 13, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2022 East India Company Saint Helena Half Penny Token, 1821Soho, Birmingham. Copper, 29mm, 9.34g. Coat of arms of the East India Company; AUSP: REGIS & SENAT ANGLIÆ. ST HELENA 1821 HALFPENNY (KM A4). In 1815 the exiled Napoleon, his entourage and a British troop guard arrived on St Helena, doubling the population. The British East India Company sent dollars and copper coins to sustain the larger economy. Before the copper arrived, Napoleon died, and most of the troops, officers, civil servants and their families left. In 1830 a large surplus stock was melted, but the halfpennies remained in circulation. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akeady Posted September 13, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Lovely coin, Phil! I thought it was Valeria Luperca on a heifer 😄 I forgot about Europa and Éire: Here, Europa's riding a bull on the reverse of Cr. 377/1. A modern Europa on a French €1.50 coin (not intended for circulation): Antarctic Explorers on an Éire €5 coin - featuring Ernest Shackleton & Tom Crean and the Endurance. "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success." - Shackleton's ad in The Times recruiting a crew for Endurance and the Antarctic expedition. ATB, Aidan.

One of the many cases where we can never be sure who's intended. Fwiw, Crawford says Europa. You piqued my interest enough to do a very rough CoinArchives search. The tally is Europa 242, Valeria Luperca 95.
