| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a population that has rarely exceeded 300, issues commemorative coinage primarily as a revenue source rather than for domestic circulation. The island's geographic isolation — over 2,400 kilometres from the nearest land — means virtually none of these pieces ever saw everyday use. This issue marks Princess Anne's 50th birthday.
