First of all, what is a territory with a population of 300 doing putting out all these coins! Tristan da Cunha is a territory of the UK off the west coast of Africa in the South Atlantic and is described as the most remote island on Earth! Well, if they’re going to strike coins then their choice of Privateering Ships of the South Atlantic strikes me as ideal. This is one world coin out of that series and shows the privateer, the “Hornet.” If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or ships then this world coin would make a great addition to your world coin collection.
