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 a depiction of Sir Walter Raleigh on the other. Raleigh was an English explorer and courtier who played a significant role in the history of Tristan da Cunha, having been stranded on the island for several years in the 17th century. The coin's design serves as a nod to the island's rich history and its connections to the British monarchy.
