Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Argonaut, a mythical creature from Greek mythology, and a cricket, which is a popular sport in Tristan da Cunha. The combination of these two elements represents the island's rich history and culture, as well as its connection to the natural world.
