Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Maundy Ceremony, a traditional event that takes place annually in the United Kingdom and is associated with the distribution of alms to the poor. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II and the inscription "Tristan da Cunha" in recognition of the remote island's unique history and culture.
