The HMS Bounty and the Pitcairn Islands chain are deeply intertwined in world history. The Bounty is most famous in maritime history for the mutiny of its crew during its maiden voyage in the late 1780s, while the Pitcairn Islands modern population can still trace its genealogical roots to the mutineers who settled on the island of Pitcairn. Now, 2024 1/4 oz Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The HMS Bounty embarked on its maiden voyage in 1787. Its infamous mutiny occurred on April 28, 1789, as the Bounty was sailing from Tahiti to the West Indies. It took place near the island of Tofua in the Friendly Islands (now Tonga).
The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian, the Master's Mate. Christian had previously been a favorite of Captain Bligh but had become increasingly resentful of Bligh's allegedly harsh treatment and verbal abuse.
His Majesty King Charles III is on the obverse of 2024 1/4 oz Silver Bounty Coins. This is the first-generation portrait of Charles III to feature on coinage for the Pitcairn Islands, a British Overseas Territory. This left-profile relief captures the king without a crown on his head and was created by Glyn Davies.
The infamous HMS Bounty is depicted in the reverse design of the 2024 Pitcairn islands Silver Bounty Coins. The Bounty had a crew of 42 men during its maiden voyage. Among the crew, 22 joined Fletcher Christian in the mutiny, while 18 remained loyal to Lieutenant Bligh, the Bounty’s captain. Two of the men remained neutral in the mutiny.
These 2024 1/4 oz Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are individually packaged in protective plastic flips.
