Aanvullende informatie

The Pitcairn Islands, administered by Britain, issued commemorative coinage through Pobjoy Mint beginning in the 1980s — one of the few revenue streams available to a population that has never exceeded a few dozen residents. The Bounty mutiny of 1789 is the island's entire reason for existence: Fletcher Christian and eight fellow mutineers settled Pitcairn in 1790 with their Tahitian companions, burning the ship to prevent detection.

The bicentennial timing here is exact — 200 years after the mutiny itself.
