| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with an ornately detailed diadem and styled hair, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait is of the mature effgy type commonly used for Tristan da Cunha commemorative issues. The circular legend reads HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II around the upper periphery, with the issuer abbreviation TDC positioned to the lower right. The date 2014 appears in the exergue below the bust, separated from the field by a continuous beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues commemorative crowns through licensing arrangements — the coins are legal tender on the island in name only, with no practical circulation ever occurring. The 2014 D-Day issue marks the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings, a commemorative hook shared by dozens of mints that year.
The billon composition — barely 1.5% silver — places this squarely in the collector-product category rather than any bullion or numismatic precious-metal tradition.
