Additional information

Tristan da Cunha, the most remote permanently inhabited archipelago on earth, has no meaningful internal coin circulation — its "issues" are produced entirely for the collector market through licensing arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint. This piece marks Elizabeth II's position as the longest-reigning monarch in British history, a threshold she crossed in September 2015 — which means this 2014 date anticipates that record rather than commemorating it after the fact.
