The surrounding legend reads HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II separated by a raised dot from the issuer abbreviation TDC, with the date 2010 appearing in the lower field. A beaded inner border frames the design on both sides. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues commemorative coinage primarily for the collector market — these pieces never circulate on the island, where the South African rand and British pound serve practical purposes. The 80th birthday crown was produced by Pobjoy Mint under license, one of dozens of similar royal-themed issues the territory released across this period.
