Interesting fact
The 5 Pound coin issued by Tristan da Cunha in 2017 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Sapphire Jubilee features a unique design that showcases the island's rich history and culture. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side, while the other side depicts a Tristan da Cunha longboat, which is a traditional fishing boat used by the islanders for generations. This design not only highlights the island's maritime heritage but also serves as a symbol of the community's resilience and resourcefulness.
