Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Sir Walter Raleigh on the other. This design was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Raleigh's voyage to Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design is a nod to the island's history and its connection to the British monarch.
