| Reverse description | A bold, right-facing springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) in full stride occupies the central field, rendered in high relief in a style reminiscent of the classic South African Krugerrand design. A small oval privy mark depicting a castle or fort appears in the upper right field. The two-word denomination legend HALF CROWN is incused vertically along the left side of the design, within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of roughly 250 people, has no functional currency economy of its own — it issues collector coins through licensing arrangements, with no pretense of local circulation. The springbok subject has no geographic or historical connection to the island; this is a bullion-adjacent novelty product aimed squarely at the fractional gold collector market of the early 2010s.
