| Additional information |
Alfred the Great's inclusion on a Tristan da Cunha crown sits within a broader British commemorative program that leaned heavily on Anglo-Saxon history during the late 2000s. Alfred, who died in 899, is the only English monarch to carry the epithet "the Great" — a distinction earned largely for halting the Danish Viking advance and organizing a coherent defense of Wessex after the catastrophic loss of most of England to the Great Heathen Army in 865.
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory of roughly 250 permanent inhabitants, issues coins primarily for the collector market rather than local circulation.
