Obverse: Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Reverse: .Interesting fact
The 1 Crown coin from Tristan da Cunha issued in 2017 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I features a unique design that depicts a soldier from the United States Marine Corps, along with a bald eagle and the inscription "Belleau Wood." This coin is interesting because it highlights the little-known fact that Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic, played a significant role in World War I. The island was used as a strategic military base by the Allies, and its location made it an important spot for monitoring German naval activity. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the island's contributions to the war effort and the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought there.
