| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory so remote that its entire population was evacuated to England in 1961 following a volcanic eruption, has issued commemorative crowns through licensing arrangements since the 1970s — the coins are legal tender on paper but the island imports virtually everything, and these pieces circulate nowhere. This example marks Prince William's service as a Search and Rescue pilot with 22 Squadron, RAF Valley, a posting he held from 2010 to 2013.
