| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha holds a peculiar position in British numismatic history: it is the most remote permanently inhabited island on Earth, some 2,400 kilometers from the nearest landmass, and its coinage is issued under Crown authority despite the island's own economy running largely on fishing licenses and postage stamp sales. The 2012 date places this piece in the Diamond Jubilee year, when a cluster of Commonwealth and dependent territory mints produced commemorative gold under the Tristan da Cunha name specifically for the collector market.
The coin was not produced on the island — it never is.
