These 'dollars' were not legal tender in the United States of America, instead intended for trade overseas, specifically in Asia. Hence the name Trade Dollars. 420 grains is roughly 27 grams of .900 Silver, which is under a troy ounce of 90% silver. These were intended to complete with other currencies being utilized in the orient at the time they were being minted.
