5 Pounds - Elizabeth II - Britannia

Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of roughly 250 people, issues coins primarily as numismatic products rather than circulating currency — the island's geographic isolation makes conventional commerce almost entirely dependent on the supply ship that calls a few times per year. The .958 Britannia silver specification here mirrors the fineness used for the British Britannia bullion series introduced in 1987, lending this issue a deliberate connection to that program.
