| Additional information |
Antipodes Island — a windswept, uninhabited volcanic outcrop roughly 860 kilometres southeast of New Zealand — was named by British captain Henry Waterhouse in 1800 under the mistaken belief that it lay antipodal to London. It does not. New Zealand has issued a long-running series of dollar coins celebrating its outlying subantarctic territories, and this piece belongs to that program, issued under the fourth effigy of Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The island is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and strictly protected nature reserve, accessible only by scientific permit.
