The HMS Bounty was a small merchant vessel acquired by the Royal Navy in 1787 for a special mission to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and bring them back to the West Indies. Under the command of Lieutenant William Bligh, the ship was refitted for botanical transport and set sail from England in December 1787 with a crew of 46 men. What began as a routine mission became one of the most well-known chapters in maritime history. Right now, 2025 1 oz Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coins are available from BGASC.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coin, you will find a first-generation effigy of King Charles III. This portrait shows the King in left-profile relief, without a crown, and was designed by Jody Clark.

History

The mutiny on the HMS Bounty, which occurred on April 28, 1789, is one of the most famous events in maritime history. Led by Fletcher Christian, 25 crew members seized control of the ship from Lieutenant William Bligh after months spent in Tahiti, where they had become accustomed to the island lifestyle, making Blighs strict naval discipline hard to follow.
