The HMS Bounty began its life as a merchant vessel, purchased by the Royal Navy in 1787 for a unique mission to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and deliver them to the West Indies. Under the leadership of Lieutenant William Bligh, the ship underwent modifications to serve as a botanical transport and departed England in December 1787 with a 46-man crew. Despite its unremarkable beginnings, the HMS Bounty became a name that echoes in maritime history. Now, 2025 1 oz Pitcairn Islands Gold Bounty Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
For the obverse design of the 2025 1 oz Gold Bounty Coin, you’ll find a depiction of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait, created by Jody Clark, presents His Majesty without a crown and marks his first appearance on coinage.
In the reverse design of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Gold Bounty Coin, the mint features a detailed rendering of the HMS Bounty. Originally christened the Bethia, the ship was renamed upon its acquisition by the Royal Navy. Measuring just 91 feet, the vessel epitomizes the small merchant ships of the late 18th century.
Following the mutiny on the Bounty, Bligh, along with 18 loyal crew members, was given minimal provisions including water, bread, rum, a sextant, and a compass. This decision would later prove remarkable, as Bligh successfully navigated the overcrowded launch on a 47-day, 3,618-nautical-mile journey to Timor—one of the greatest feats of seamanship in maritime history.
These 2025 1 oz Pitcairn Islands Gold Bounty Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are packaged individually in plastic flips. The 1 oz gold coin is one of two gold coins, alongside the 1/2 gram gold coin. It is also one of four in the collection alongside the 1/2 gram gold coin, the 1/2 oz silver coin, and the 1 oz silver coin.
