Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first landing on Tristan da Cunha, which is a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design features a unique octagonal shape, which is a nod to the island's unique geography and its reputation for being one of the remotest inhabited places in the world.
