Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook's first voyage to the South Atlantic, which included a stop at South Georgia in 1775. The coin's design features an image of Cook's ship, the Resolution, and the island's scenic coastline.
