Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Argus) 2006 from Tristan da Cunha is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by an intricate pattern of circles and lines that resemble the eyes of the mythical creature Argus, after whom the coin is named. This design is a nod to the island's rich history and culture, and sets the coin apart from other coins in the series.
