| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory with a population under 300 and no airstrip, issues coins primarily for the collector market — they circulate nowhere. This piece belongs to a "Greatest Britons" series honoring Victoria, whose reign established the framework of empire that technically still governs the island today. The gold plating over copper-nickel is a production choice driven entirely by price point, not precedent.
