| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population that has never exceeded 300, issues collector crowns through arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint. This particular piece honors Tybalt, a character from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, as part of a broader series commemorating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's writing career — a subject with no particular connection to the island whatsoever.
