Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a scenic view of Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design is particularly noteworthy because it was created by the Tristan da Cunha Government and the Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha Philatelic Bureau, making it a special collaboration between the two entities. Additionally, the coin's gold plating and copper-nickel composition give it a distinctive look and make it stand out among other coins.
