Tristan da Cunha is a small, wet and windy island in the mid-Atlantic. In 2008 Tristan da Cunha issued its first coin set. The eight coin set includes a large (38mm) copper-nickel 1 crown that depicts a pair of whales. The bi-metallic 25 pence features a pair of bottlenose dolphins. A killer whale (Orca) is on the brass 20 pence. A crab is on the 10 pence. The 5 pence shows a sea turtle. A violet seasnail is on the 2 pence. The 1 pence shows a lobster. A snipe eel is on the 1/2 Pence. Because Tristan da Cunha is a British posession, Queen Elizabeth is on the obverse. All eight coins are Uncirculated
