Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II with a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, on the obverse side. This design was specifically created for the Tristan da Cunha coin series and is not found on any other coins featuring the Queen's image.
