Comment
A domineering, ill tempered Captain, an angry group of sailors and an overcrowded ship. In 1789, this situation escalated dramatically aboard HMS Bounty, and Captain William Bligh and eighteen loyal crew members were forced into an overcrowded launch and set adrift on the ocean. Unknown to the mutineers on the Bounty, this fateful moment would shape Australia's colonial history. It led to the foundation of Norfolk Island's unique culture and language, and to Bligh's turbulent governorship of New South Wales - which in turn provoked a dramatic and historic rebellion.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 230th anniversary of the Mutiny on the Bounty, which took place on April 28, 1789. The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian, who was the master's mate on the HMS Bounty, and it resulted in the overthrow of Captain William Bligh and the crew's eventual settlement on Pitcairn Island. The coin's design features a depiction of the HMS Bounty and the mutineers, along with the inscription "Mutiny on the Bounty 1789-2019" and the coin's denomination.
