The HMS Bounty was a modest merchant ship that the Royal Navy acquired in 1787 for an ambitious mission: to gather breadfruit plants in Tahiti and deliver them to the West Indies. Commanded by Lieutenant William Bligh, the vessel was restructured to accommodate its botanical cargo and embarked on its journey from England in December 1787 with a crew of 46 sailors. Though it started as an unassuming ship, the HMS Bounty would later become a legend in maritime history. Today, 2025 1/2 oz Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The mounting tensions aboard the HMS Bounty on its maiden voyage for the Royal Navy finally erupted into open rebellion in the early morning hours as the ship sailed near the Friendly Islands. The treatment of Bligh and his loyal crew members following the mutiny demonstrated both the mutineers’ mercy and their determination. Rather than executing Bligh and his supporters, as was common in naval mutinies, Christian ordered them set adrift in the ship’s 23-foot launch.
All 2025 1/2 oz Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coins are available here in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are available individually with protective plastic flips and represent the smallest silver BU coin offered in this collection.
On the obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Silver Bounty Coin is a depiction of King Charles III in his first official portrait for coinage. This left-facing design, which excludes a crown, was crafted by artist Jody Clark.
The reverse of the 2025 1/2 oz Silver Bounty Coin showcases the HMS Bounty. Initially known as the Bethia, the ship was renamed after the Royal Navy acquired it. Measuring a modest 91 feet in length, the Bounty reflects the design of typical small merchant vessels from its time.
