1 Crown - Elizabeth II HMS Victory

Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a population rarely exceeding 300, issues commemorative crowns almost exclusively for the collector market — none circulate on the island in any meaningful sense. This piece marks the 210th anniversary of Trafalgar, where Nelson's flagship sustained over 500 casualties and was so badly damaged she had to be taken under tow. HMS Victory never sailed in anger again after 1805 and remains commissioned in Portsmouth to this day, the oldest naval vessel still on the Royal Navy's active list.
