| Additional information |
The British Antarctic Territory, administered from the Falkland Islands, issues its own coinage despite having no permanent civilian population — only rotating scientific personnel at bases like Rothera and Halley. The 2022 Platinum Jubilee issue marks Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne, a milestone shared across all fourteen British Overseas Territories, each of which produced its own commemorative variants.
The "diamond finish" designation refers to a laser-frosted surface treatment applied at the Royal Mint, distinct from standard proof or bullion finishes.
