A bust of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of 2022 British Trade Dollar Silver Coins. Jody Clark created this famous portrait for the Royal Mint in 2015. In most parts of the world, it is regarded as the sixth official portrait of Elizabeth II used for coinage. The inscriptions say Queen Elizabeth II, One Pound, 2022.
The first British Trade Dollar was developed in 1895 by George William De Saulles. It was designed to improve trade between Britain, Hong Kong, and the Straits Settlements. Upon the introduction of the Straits Dollar, the Trade Dollars were primarily utilized for Hong Kong trade until 1935. The original coins are now difficult to find, due in part to China's 1934 ban on silver ownership. As a result, many of the coins were melted down for various purposes.
