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.

The fine print: We at 90percentCoins are not numismatists and do not focus on the nuances of
coin collecting or appraisals. Most of our items are common and circulated but when we find impressive-looking coins or other
items in our intake buys we prefer to list them as "Minty" and let the public determine what they are worth. You might find something even more valuable!
We do not sell graded or highly-collectible coins. We sell coins as bullion at or near the spot value for the silver they contain. Unless specifically stated, coins will be from random years or mint marks. In many cases photos are not of the exact coin you will receive but are indicative of the condition you should expect.
Our coin conditions of "Cull, Worn, Sharp or Minty" indicate the amount of wear a coin has and how "visually striking" it is as compared to most common bullion-quality coins of the same type. No correlation should be drawn between these terms and those used by coin dealers to describe graded coins that would otherwise sell at ten or twenty times the price. As an example, "Minty" should not be confused with a numismatic grade of "MS-70" or any similar designation. We do not clean coins, but some of our coins may have been cleaned before they came to us. We only value coins based on their Actual Silver Weight (ASW) or "melt values" and their relative scarcity, not by other numismatic or collectable factors.
If you are looking for collectible coins worth quite a bit more than the value of their silver content please visit a coin dealer. But if you are looking to build your silver stack with cool coins at the lowest price compared to their melt values, 90percentCoins is your best option!
