Struck as part of the British Trade Dollar series, this coin contains 0.7798 troy oz of .900 fine silver and was issued to facilitate commerce in the Far East, making it an essential piece for collectors of British or colonial-era silver coinage.
The British Trade Dollar was first introduced in 1895 to simplify trade with East Asian markets, particularly China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
