Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, a renowned British statesman and former Prime Minister, who is not typically featured on coins from Tristan da Cunha. This design was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death and highlights the strong historical ties between the UK and Tristan da Cunha.
