| Obverse description | The obverse features a rendering of the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom, depicting a quartered shield supported by a crowned lion rampant to the left and a unicorn to the right, rendered in high relief. A royal crown surmounts the shield at center. The circular legend ISLE OF STROMA arcs across the upper field, while the denomination ONE POUND is inscribed along the lower rim. The design closely echoes the heraldic style associated with British coinage traditions. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Stroma is an uninhabited Scottish island in the Pentland Firth, depopulated by 1962 after its last residents relocated to the mainland. It has no government, no mint authority, and no legal tender framework. Coins issued in its name are fantasy pieces produced for the novelty and collector market, with no historical monetary use whatsoever.
