| Additional information |
Inaccessible Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site lying roughly 35 kilometers southwest of Tristan da Cunha, was named with full accuracy — the first recorded landing wasn't achieved until 1873, and permanent human habitation has never taken hold. The island's remoteness is genuine, not promotional. Coins issued under the Tristan da Cunha authority frequently reference the archipelago's natural and geographic curiosities, a logical choice given that the territory's population hovers around 250 and its economic output offers little else to commemorate.
