| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara and pearl drop earrings, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait is of the mature style associated with commemorative issues for Tristan da Cunha. The circular legend reading 'H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II TRISTAN DA CUNHA' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date '2017' positioned below the bust. The coin's border is defined by a finely executed beaded rim. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha — a British Overseas Territory with a permanent population of roughly 250 people and no airstrip — issues commemorative coinage through arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint and similar producers, making it one of the more prolific remote-territory issuers relative to its actual population. The coins circulate nowhere near the island. This 2017 piece marks the 70th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, an occasion that generated commemorative issues across dozens of Commonwealth and associated territories simultaneously.
