Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversible design, with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a photograph of the Tristan da Cunha island on the other. This design was created to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne and to highlight the natural beauty of Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean.
