The denomination ONE CROWN is inscribed along the lower arc, completing the reverse composition. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic and the most remote permanently inhabited archipelago on earth, issues commemorative coinage through the British Crown dependencies framework — more as licensed collectibles than functional currency. This piece marks the 173rd anniversary of Victoria's accession, a date with no particular numismatic or historical significance of its own.
Gold-plated copper-nickel issues of this type were produced in volume for the collector and gift market during the 2000s and 2010s, with actual mintage figures rarely disclosed by the issuing authority.
