Tristan da Cunha holds a legitimate but peculiar place in British numismatic history — as the most remote permanently inhabited island on Earth, it has issued coins largely as a revenue-generating exercise for its tiny population since the 1950s. This 2010 piece commemorates the 1953 Coronation with a 57-year remove, paired with gold-plated copper-nickel construction that places it firmly in the collector souvenir category rather than anything approaching a circulating issue.
