The ancient city of Tyre once issued one of history’s most iconic silver coins — the Shekel of Tyre — a piece valued for its purity and connection to biblical and cultural traditions. Reviving that legacy, the 2024 1 Pound St. Helena Shekel of Tyre Replica 1 oz Silver BU bridges ancient craftsmanship and modern minting precision.
This round was produced for St. Helena (part of the British Overseas Territories) by SilverTowne Mint. It features King Charles III on the front (obverse) and the Eagle of Tyre on the back (reverse). The Greek inscription reads "ΤΥΡΟΥ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ" translating to “Tyre, the Holy and Inviolable” emphasizing the coin’s roots in Phoenician history. This symbolic design honors a coin once associated with the famed Temple Tax and esteemed for its exceptional silver content.
The round is marked with “ONE OUNCE .999 SILVER 2024 1£ ST. HELENA” which reinforces the coin’s legal-tender status and affirms its purity and weight, while its balanced layout evokes traditional British minting standards.
The 2024 St. Helena Shekel of Tyre Replica unites art, history, and bullion investment in one elegant piece. Whether admired for its biblical resonance, ancient symbolism, or fine silver purity, it stands as a thoughtful choice for collectors and investors seeking coins with cultural depth and timeless design.
