| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population that has never exceeded 300, issues commemorative coinage through licensing arrangements rather than any domestic minting need. The coins are legal tender in name only — the island's actual economy runs on the pound sterling and barter.
Gold-plated copper-nickel struck to .9999 specification refers to the plating purity, not the coin itself. Worth noting for the collector.
