Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of the HMS Paramour on the other. The HMS Paramour was a British ship that was used as a prison ship and hospital ship during the Napoleonic Wars, and it has a rich history associated with it. The coin's design serves as a nod to the history of the ship and its significance in the context of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.
