| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a full-color circular vignette depicting the Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Hood underway at sea, with a biplane seaplane visible in flight above the vessel. The color scene is framed by a rope-effect inner border, flanked on either side by raised laurel and oak branch devices in the gold-plated surround. The legend HMS HOOD appears in the upper field and the service dates 1920 - 1941 are inscribed along the lower arc, commemorating the ship's commissioning and loss during the Battle of the Denmark Strait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
HMS Hood's destruction on 24 May 1941 — sunk by the Bismarck in under three minutes with the loss of 1,415 men — remains one of the most shocking single naval losses in British history. Only three of her crew survived. Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, has issued an extensive series of commemorative crowns tied to Royal Navy history, this piece being one of dozens in that program.
Gold-plated copper-nickel strikes of this type are produced in the tens of thousands and circulate almost exclusively among thematic collectors rather than on the island itself, whose population has never exceeded 300.
