The circumferential legend 'HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II & HRH PRINCE PHILIP' is rendered in raised Latin capitals around the outer field, commemorating the royal couple's lifetime of service. |

| Additional information |
Pitcairn Islands issues no circulating coinage — the population, never exceeding a few dozen people, has no practical use for it. This piece was produced entirely for the collector market, one of many commemorative releases timed to Queen Elizabeth II's 85th birthday year.
The copper-nickel specification mirrors the standard used for British commemorative crowns since 1990, a format adopted largely for cost efficiency in collector editions struck by contracted mints on behalf of dependent territories.
