| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with drop earrings and a pearl necklace visible, rendered in fine detail after the fifth definitive portrait. The legend H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, with TRISTAN DA CUNHA continuing along the right field, all separated by a beaded inner border. The date 2018 appears in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues commemorative crowns almost entirely for the collector market — they see no meaningful circulation on the island itself. This piece marks the 2018 Preakness Stakes, the second leg of American horse racing's Triple Crown, run annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore since 1873.
The Preakness has a shorter field than the Kentucky Derby by design; Pimlico's track configuration limits starting positions.
