| Reverse description | The central device features an ornate oval cartouche surmounted by the Royal Crown, enclosing a facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in robes of state. Flanking the cartouche are the two supporters of the Tristan da Cunha arms: a rearing horse to the left and a rockhopper penguin to the right, both rendered in fine relief against the mirror-polished field. The encircling legend reads 1953 · 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION · 1978, with the dates 1953 and 1978 placed vertically at the lower left and right respectively. Below the central device, the issuer name TRISTAN DA CUNHA appears in two lines, and the denomination ONE CROWN is inscribed along the lower arc. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
