Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Britannia, the mythical figure representing Britain, standing on the shore of Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The design is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and includes the inscription "Tristan da Cunha" and the year "2010." This coin is a rare and beautiful collector's item for those interested in numismatics and the history of the British territories.
