| Reverse description | The reverse features paired portrait medallions of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip as they appeared in 1947 and 2007, symbolising sixty years of marriage. Crossed ceremonial trumpets are depicted between or flanking the portraits as a heraldic embellishment. The commemorative legend encircles the design, referencing the date of the anniversary. The composition is formal and celebratory in character, typical of British royal commemorative issues of this period. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population under 300, issues commemorative coinage through the British Crown dependencies mechanism — coins that are legal tender on the island but effectively never circulate there. The 2007 royal wedding anniversary issue was produced for the collector market, not the islanders, who rely almost entirely on shipped goods and have little practical use for commemorative crown-sized pieces.
