Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Tristan da Cunha, a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with an image of the island's iconic Tristan da Cunha lobster, which is found only on this island. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of rare coins.
