| Additional information |
The Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348, is the oldest and highest order of chivalry in England — and Elizabeth II served as its Sovereign for the entirety of her reign. Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic and the most remote permanently inhabited archipelago on earth, issues commemorative coinage through the Pobjoy Mint under Crown authority, though no physical monetary economy functions on the island itself.
