Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Britannia, the mythical figure who has been a symbol of Britain for centuries. The design depicts Britannia standing on the shore, looking out towards the sea, with a trident in her right hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack in her left. This design was created specifically for the Tristan da Cunha coinage and is not found on any other coins.
