| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of around 250, has no functioning retail economy in the conventional sense — coins issued in its name are produced entirely for the collector market. This 2018 release belongs to a long-running series commemorating objects used during Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation at Westminster Abbey, each piece isolating a single ceremonial item. The Jewelled Sword of Offering was presented to the Queen during the investiture portion of the service, a rite unchanged in its essential form since the medieval period.
