Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a solitary soldier standing guard atop a rocky outcrop, with the ocean waves crashing against the shore in the background. The design is meant to symbolize the remoteness and isolation of Tristan da Cunha, which is located in the South Atlantic Ocean and has a population of less than 300 people. The coin's design is particularly noteworthy because it was created by a local artist, Sue Dawson, who was inspired by the island's rugged landscape and the resilience of its people.
