| 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 long funded island administration partly through commemorative coin programs — collector issues like this one never circulate on the island itself. This piece marks the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death, pairing him with Roosevelt as Allied leaders whose wartime relationship was famously conducted across 1,700 miles of open Atlantic.
The Roosevelt-Churchill pairing references the Atlantic Charter, signed aboard warships off Newfoundland in August 1941, months before the U.S. formally entered the war.
