Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the H.M.S. Swallow on the other. The H.M.S. Swallow was a British ship that was famously commanded by Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. The coin's design serves as a nod to the history and maritime heritage of the Pitcairn Islands.
