The British Emergency Issue Dollar or Bank Of England Trade Coinage Dollar is a coin struck by the Soho Mint, Birmingham between 1804 and 1811 though all bear the date 1804.
These coins were made by overstriking on top of a Spanish American 8 Real and issued by the Bank of England with a value of five shillings to supplement a deficiency in British regal coinage.
