| Additional information |
Gough Island is an uninhabited British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, home to a weather station staffed by South African personnel under a lease agreement — it has no civilian population, no economy, and no reason to issue circulating coinage. The "X#" reference prefix in Krause assigns it to the non-standard issues section, the catalog's polite way of acknowledging that a piece functions as a bullion souvenir rather than a monetary instrument.
The 2005 date places this squarely in the wave of VE-Day 60th anniversary issues that flooded the commemorative market that year.
