| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with curled hair and pearl earring visible. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a flat field, in the style associated with the Ian Rank-Broadley likeness used on Commonwealth coinage of this period. The circular legend reads HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II around the upper periphery, with the issuer abbreviation TDC and the date 2011 positioned below the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory so remote — 2,787 kilometres from the nearest inhabited island, Saint Helena — that its entire population was evacuated in 1961 following a volcanic eruption and had to be repatriated from England two years later. The island issues commemorative crowns through licensing arrangements with private minting companies, and has no meaningful domestic coin circulation. This piece is a souvenir product, not a monetary instrument anyone on Tristan da Cunha ever spent.
