| Reverse description | Central design features a gold-plated rendition of the Jewelled Sword of Offering, one of the Crown Jewels used during the coronation ceremony, depicted diagonally across a detailed architectural floor plan of Westminster Abbey rendered in white against a black field. The circular legend at the top reads 1953 - 2018 CORONATION ANNIVERSARY, with ONE CROWN inscribed along the lower right border. Two small cross ornaments flank the upper legend as decorative stops. The contrasting gold and silver tones, combined with the black inlay background, create a striking polychromatic composition commemorating the 65th anniversary of the coronation. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha issues commemoratives through the Pobjoy Mint under licensing arrangements with the British Crown, a practice that generates legal tender status for coins that will never circulate on the island — the settlement of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas has a population of roughly 250 people and operates a cash economy so limited that most residents know one another by name. The 65th Coronation Anniversary series appeared across several dependent territories simultaneously in 2018, each carrying identical reverse designs differentiated only by issuer.
Silver-plated copper-nickel rather than sterling — a production choice that places this squarely in the souvenir category despite the face value.
