The highest point on Saint Helena.

So here we have the Saint Helenian pence, nominal - 50. The year of issue of this coin is 1996. The coin commemorates the 70th anniversary of the birth of Elizabeth II.

The island is 122 km2 (47 sq mi) in area, and is composed largely of rugged terrain of volcanic origin. Coastal areas are scattered with vegetation on volcanic rock and are warmer and drier than the centre.

The highest point of the island is Diana's Peak at on the island of Saint Helena, a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is of volcanic origin. The mountain and its surroundings with a total area of 81 ha were proclaimed a national park in March 1996, the first on the island. It is a preserve of several endangered endemic species, including tree fern, he cabbage and black cabbage trees, and whitewood.

The park contains walking paths connecting the peaks - Mt. Actaeon (814m), Diana's Peak and Cuckold's Point (815m). The two shorter peaks are topped by large Norfolk pines.
