Seaby'y catalogue of coin values is a good place to ascertain the value of your coin. The value of any coin, however, will depend upon condition. Check Ebay to find out whether any similar coins have been sold recently. But, in any case, the coin will only have a nominal value because it is a very common coin.

It was the paragon of British imperialism, set up to exploit India's wealth of resources and ending up governing large parts the country in the process.

At its height the East India Company controlled 50 per cent of world trade, bringing tea and coffee to the breakfast tables of the West and spices around the globe.

Now, 136 years after it was dissolved, the business is being relaunched - by an Indian entrepreneur. And, initially anyway, it will be a rather more modest enterprise.

Britishers are the best example for Imperialism. Imperialism means when one country seeks to dominate other country economically, politically and socially is known as Imperialism.

But the worst thing the Britishers did to raise their Empire for Imperialism was to destroy the History of the country they ruled and taught the politics of deceit or Divide and Rule policy behind, after they get forced to leave that country.

Since the beginning, Britishers were looking for a way to rule over India and they got the way to do it as East India Company. Indians took the Britishers lightly and took the advantage of it. Britishers ruled on India, Canada, Africa and many more place. They had 13 colonies in different countries.

India was in rich in minerals, land basically in all. Their intentions was to grab all the powers, special minerals like gold, diamonds and they had even taken away the peacock throne.
