Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Eureka moment, which refers to the moment when a group of British scientists and engineers successfully tested the first radar system in 1944 on Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design features an image of the island and the radar system, along with the inscription "Eureka 1944" and the year 2016. This coin serves as a unique reminder of the significant role that Tristan da Cunha played in the development of radar technology during World War II.
