| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha issues collector pieces through Saint Helena's administrative apparatus, with virtually no circulating coinage of its own — the island's roughly 250 permanent residents use the Saint Helena pound for daily transactions. This 2016 piece commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the last photographic portrait session Elizabeth II sat for specifically for Commonwealth coinage use, a sitting whose resulting image became the fourth and then-current Maklouf effigy standard across dozens of territories.
