| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a confronted lion and bull in high relief, referencing the ancient Lydian electrum coinage motif regarded as among the earliest struck coinage in history. The lion, facing right with open jaws, and the bull, facing left, are depicted in a heraldic juxtaposition. A small crown appears above the two animals at the top of the field. The legend HALF CROWN arcs across the upper periphery in bold capital letters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with fewer than 300 inhabitants, has no functional domestic coin economy — all currency issues are collector products licensed through the British Crown. This piece references Lydia, the ancient Anatolian kingdom credited with producing the world's first true coinage in electrum around the 7th century BC, under the Mermnad dynasty.
At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, the striking was almost certainly contracted through a private mint rather than the Royal Mint.
