| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a tiara and a small drop earring, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The portrait is based on a mature effigy, with finely detailed hair and facial features. The circular legend reads HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II • TDC around the periphery, with the date 2012 positioned at the base below the effigy. A fine beaded border runs along the rim. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of under 300, issues coins primarily for the collector market — the island has no meaningful domestic circulation economy. This crown belongs to an aviation-themed series released across 2011–2012, a format the territory has leaned on heavily to generate philatelic and numismatic revenue, its principal source of external income outside fishing licenses.
