Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon, the military leader and emperor of France, took power during the French Revolution and crowned himself emperor in 1804. During his rule, he expanded his empire until we was exiled first to the island of Elba, and then later to the remote island of Saint Helena where he died at the age of 51. 2021 was the 200th anniversary of the controversial and well-known figure's death. He is buried in Paris, where 12 stone angels guard his final resting place. This 1 oz Silver Napoleon Angel coin plays tribute to these angels with the angel design on the reverse, watching over the gravestone. The gravestone features an "N" at the center for Napoleon, and includes the metal content and purity on the border of the coin along with a design of two bees.
The East India Company
The historic East India Company is one of the most well-known companies historically, increasing trade among Europe and Asia. Many commodities were traded through the East India Company, including silk, spices, tea and cotton. The historic East India company disbanded in the 1800s, however the name was revitalized for The East India Company London, bringing a re-imagined company that sells fine teas and food, and produces collectible coins such as this Silver Proof coin.
