Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 67th anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe Day), which marked the end of World War II in Europe. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscription "V.E. DAY 1945-2012" and the Tristan da Cunha coat of arms. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
