Additional information

Tristan da Cunha's connection to Cook is geographic rather than ceremonial — the island group lies squarely within the South Atlantic waters he charted during his second voyage aboard HMS Resolution in 1772–1775. The British overseas territory issues coins largely through the Pobjoy Mint under licensing arrangements, producing collector pieces that never enter meaningful circulation on an island whose entire population hovers around 250 people.
