Boxed. Duit coin in presentation box with Certificate of Authenticity Description None of our modern corporations could ever hope to have the power of the British East India Company. The EIC had the full powers of a sovereign nation. It could mint money, enact and enforce laws, raise armies, and wage warall without the consent of the Crown. Chartered in 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I, the company eventually grew so successfully that its business accounted for half of the worlds tradea staggering percentage then and now. In 1757, the British government ceded administrative responsibility for the Crown Jewel of its Empire, India, to the EIC. A company, rather than a government, was effectively the ruler of one of the largest territories on earth for a full century.
