| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length standing figure of Queen Elizabeth II, robed and crowned, holding a sceptre in her right hand, accompanied by a large passant lion to her left in the field. The composition is inspired by the celebrated Una and the Lion design originally engraved by William Wyon for the 1839 gold five-pound piece. The central devices are framed by a beaded inner border and an elaborate Greek key decorative outer border. The denomination SOVEREIGN is inscribed in the lower exergual area in raised Roman capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tristan da Cunha holds the distinction of being the most remote permanently inhabited archipelago on Earth, sitting roughly 2,400 kilometers from the nearest landmass. The island has no airstrip; mail and supply ships call only a handful of times per year. Its coins are legal tender in name but reach collectors exclusively through the British Royal Mint's licensed distribution channels — none circulate on the island in any meaningful sense.
KM#157 was issued as part of a broader Diamond Jubilee program in 2012. The Sovereign specification — 7.99 g at .917 fineness — mirrors the historic British Sovereign standard that dates to the Great Recoinage of 1816.
