Celebrate a tangible piece of English trade history with this authentic X (Ten) Cash copper coin, hand-milled at the Soho mint in 1808 during the reign of King George III of the English Empire. Struck in copper, the obverse features the date 1808 accompanied by two lions supporting a shield, with the surrounding legend reading “East India Company.” The reverse presents the denomination X Cash alongside an elegant Persian inscription, reflecting the multilingual and multicultural reach of British commerce during the era.
Retaining its rich copper tone and dignified 19th-century character, this historic coin has been thoughtfully showcased in a gold-filled hand-wrapped wire setting, transforming a genuine artifact of colonial trade into a distinctive piece of wearable luxury with global heritage.
This copper coin was issued by the East India Company for trade in India and in remarkable condition. It was recovered from the Goodwin Sands in the English Channel where the Admiral Gardner sank in 1809 en route to India.
