Obverse: Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Reverse: Prince Philip.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, as the "Liege man of Life and Limb" of Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. This designation is a historical reference to the island's history of loyalty to the British monarchy, and it is a rare example of a coin that highlights a specific individual's relationship with a particular territory.
