Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, known as the "4th portrait," which was designed specifically for use on coins issued by Tristan da Cunha. This portrait was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and shows the Queen wearing a crown and facing forward, with a more relaxed and natural expression than previous portraits. This coin is also notable for its low mintage, with only 10,000 coins produced, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
