| Reverse description | Two detailed engravings of the Consolidated PB2Y Coronado flying boat are depicted in the field: a larger aircraft rendered in three-quarter plan view occupying the centre and lower portion, and a smaller aircraft shown in profile in the upper right, evoking a formation flight scene. A winged 75th anniversary roundel badge appears in the upper left field. The legend PB2Y CORONADO arcs along the upper rim, and ONE CROWN is inscribed along the lower right, all within a beaded border. |

Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues coins primarily for the collector market — they see no meaningful local circulation. This piece commemorates HMS Coronado, though the naming of specific vessels in this extended Elizabeth II series has drawn criticism from some numismatists for prioritizing breadth of issue over historical coherence.
