| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of around 250, issues coins primarily for the collector market — nothing struck here circulates in any meaningful sense. This piece commemorates Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, marking sixty years on the throne, a milestone reached by only one previous British monarch: Queen Victoria in 1897.
The gilding is electrolytic, applied after striking.
