Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the bicentenary of the drafting of the Constitution of Pitcairn Islands, which was created in 1791. The Constitution is considered one of the oldest written constitutions in the world and has been in effect for over 225 years. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Pitcairn Island's Constitution on the other.
