History of Precious Metals Expertise

Jul 27 , 2022

The East India Company’s precious metals expertise can be traced back to the late 17th century, when an arrangement with Moses Mocatta of the London brokerage Mocatta Bullion, saw Company ships bring vast amounts of gold from Brazil to London in the first gold rush. This surge in precious metals trading created the need for the first purpose-built vault to be built by the Bank of England, marking the beginning of London’s role as one of the world’s leading bullion markets.

This expertise and spirit of exploration remain at the heart of The East India Company’s operations. Our Coin Collection range builds on hundreds of years of trusted experience to produce limited-edition collector coins, investment bullion coins and bars and precious metal tributes.

Everything we produce is authenticated by weight, specification and alloy to the most exacting standards, a guarantee that offers collectors and investors alike complete peace of mind that what they have purchased will be delivered to the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
