| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, is the most remote permanently inhabited island on earth — the nearest landmass is Saint Helena, nearly 2,500 kilometers away. The island's 250-odd residents had no regular airstrip; supply ships arrived only a few times a year. Coins issued under its name are struck at contracted mints and never circulate on the island itself, functioning purely as collectibles distributed through philatelic and numismatic agencies.
The "On Land" title is part of a themed series contrasting terrestrial and marine subjects tied to the island's wildlife.
