The group of busts is encircled by a wreath of laurel branches rendered in selective colour, with a crowned royal cipher (ERII) within a laurel wreath at the base. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II ~ LONG TO REIGN OVER US arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, with ONE CROWN inscribed along the lower border, all framed by a beaded inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of roughly 250 people, issues commemorative coinage primarily as a revenue mechanism — the island has no functioning retail coin economy. This 2016 crown was produced in anticipation of Elizabeth II surpassing Queen Victoria's reign length, a milestone she had already passed in September 2015. The gold plating on copper-nickel is a common cost-reduction technique in the modern commemorative market, with the .999 designation referring only to the surface layer.
