| Reverse description | Central field depicts the HMAV Bounty engulfed in flames, shown broadside with its three masts still standing amid billowing fire and smoke, beached or at anchor in shallow coastal waters with a rugged, vegetated hillside rising dramatically in the background. The scene commemorates the deliberate burning of the Bounty in 1790 by Fletcher Christian's mutineers to prevent discovery of their settlement on Pitcairn Island. The arc legend ESTABLISHMENT OF SETTLEMENT curves along the upper periphery, while the bicentennial date range · 1790 - 1990 · appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by raised dots. The engraving is executed in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, enhancing the dramatic visual effect of the flames. |
