| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha is a British Overseas Territory so remote — roughly 2,400 kilometers from the nearest land — that its entire permanent population numbers under 300. Coins issued in its name are produced under licence by the Pobjoy Mint or similar contractors for the collector market; none circulate on the island, where the pound sterling serves daily commerce.
The Saint George reverse on this piece derives from Benedetto Pistrucci's original 1817 design, still in continuous use on British gold sovereigns and their derivatives. The 2020 date places it among several commemorative releases tied to the 200th anniversary of the island's formal settlement by William Glass and a small group of soldiers.
