The East India Company's history in bullion began in the 17th century when a cooperation with Moses Mocatta led to the transportation of gold across of the seas.
In 1697, EIC ships brought gold from Brazil to London in the first gold rush.
The volumes of this precious 'yellow metal' transported created a need for the Bank of England to create a purpose built vault.
It was to become the beginning of the rise of London as one of the world's leading bullion markets.
Today bullion remains at the very heart of The East India Company.

What's the difference between a BU coin and a Proof coin?
A coin struck to a BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) quality is typically machine produced in mass and purchased mainly for investment purposes. It is the lowest grade of minting above circulating coin standard and as such may carry imperfections typical of a mass produced product. Proof quality coins are the pinnacle of minting artistry. Generally issued in precious metals as strictly limited editions, proof coins are struck one coin at a time in a high pressure press which strikes the design into the blank a number of times to ensure every detail is transferred. Every Proof coin finish should be as close to perfection as possible.
