Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the HMS Briton on Henderson Island in 1799. The coin's design features an image of the HMS Briton, as well as a depiction of the island's unique wildlife, including a Pitcairn Island parrot and a Henderson Island petrel. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
