Part of a series of coins depicting scenes from WWIInteresting fact
The 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (War Horses) 2014 coin from Tristan da Cunha features a unique design that honors the role of horses in warfare, with a depiction of two horses standing on a battlefield, surrounded by poppies and barbed wire. The coin's design is particularly poignant given the history of Tristan da Cunha, which was used as a refuge for soldiers during World War II.
