Additional information

Tristan da Cunha has no airport, no scheduled air service, and sits roughly 2,400 kilometres from the nearest landmass. The territory's connection to Concorde is purely administrative — a British Overseas Territory issuing a coin for a British event. Concorde's final commercial flight was on November 26, 2003, when British Airways G-BOAF touched down at Heathrow, ending service after the combined blow of the 2000 Air France crash and post-9/11 demand collapse.

The gold plating on cupro-nickel is a production category that appeals almost entirely to the collector gift market rather than numismatists.
