Also known as The Guardian, this impressive release contains two troy ounces of .999 fine silver and celebrates Truth, one of the six allegorical virtues depicted on the historic Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace. Issued as official Saint Helena legal tender with a £2 denomination, the coin brings together an important piece of royal history, beautifully detailed classical artwork and the substantial appeal of a two-ounce silver bullion collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse depicts the magnificent winged figure of Truth, shown in classical robes as she holds a mirror while offering comfort and protection to a young child carrying a palm branch. The mirror symbolises honesty, self-reflection and the pursuit of truth, while the child represents innocence and the responsibility to protect it. Intricate engraving captures the figure's sweeping wings, flowing garments and elegant sculptural detail, complemented by an ornate geometric background. Surrounding the artwork is the Latin inscription “VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS”, traditionally translated as “Truth Conquers All”, together with The East India Company's distinctive mint mark. The obverse features Raphael Maklouf's celebrated crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the inscriptions identifying Saint Helena, the 2022 date, £2 denomination, two-troy-ounce weight and 999 silver purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a published diameter of 39mm and a nominal silver weight of approximately 62.21 grams, the 2022 Truth coin offers an unusually substantial precious-metal format with detailed artwork on both sides. It forms part of The East India Company's Queen's Virtues Collection, inspired by the famous sculptural figures created for the Victoria Memorial in honour of Queen Victoria. This is the 2022 two-ounce £2 issue and should not be confused with the separate one-ounce £1 or five-ounce £5 versions. As a Saint Helena legal-tender coin, it does not automatically qualify for the UK Capital Gains Tax exemption associated with qualifying British legal-tender coins. Each coin is individually protected for secure despatch by Everyday Bullion, making it an attractive addition to collections of Queen Elizabeth II coinage, historical silver, classical allegorical artwork and distinctive two-ounce bullion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The East India Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57001421177218,"sku":"SIL-30421","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/5555\/1874\/files\/b1318722-927d-416a-8f88-70009ebc8230.png?v=1793182222","url":"https:\/\/www.everydaybullion.co.uk\/products\/2022-st-helena-the-queens-virtues-truth-2-2oz-999-fine-silver-coin-saint-helena-the-east-india-company","provider":"Everyday Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
