Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Chasseur) 2006 from Tristan da Cunha is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a cameo style, surrounded by a pattern of waves and sea shells. This design was specifically created to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the British ship, HMS Chasseur, on the island of Tristan da Cunha in 1806. The coin's design is a nod to the island's rich history and its strong connection to the British monarchy.
