Tristan da Cunha issues commemorative coinage through the British Crown dependency mechanism, with pieces like this one struck to order by a contracted British manufacturer rather than any local facility — the island has no mint and a permanent population of fewer than 300 people. The 70th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in November 2017 generated a predictable flood of commemorative issues across British territories, this gold piece among the smallest and least substantial of them. At .375 fineness, it sits at the lower threshold of what is legally marketable as gold in the United Kingdom.
