Comment


Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Britannia, the mythical protector of the British Isles, on the reverse side. The design depicts Britannia standing on the rocky coastline of Tristan da Cunha, with the island's iconic volcano, Queen Mary's Peak, rising up in the background. This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other coins in the series.
