Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the 1672 Penny, which was a historic British coin that was minted during the reign of King Charles II. The 1672 Penny was known for its unusual design, which featured a portrait of the king on one side and a image of Britannia on the other. The 2011 Tristan da Cunha coin features a similar design, with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of the 1672 Penny on the other. This coin is a unique and interesting collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or British history.
