| Additional information |
The Mary Rose sank in the Solent in July 1545 during an engagement with a French invasion fleet, almost certainly due to open gun ports flooding as the ship turned — though the exact cause remains debated. She lay on the seabed for over four centuries before being raised in 1982 in one of the most technically complex marine salvage operations ever attempted. The Gilbert Islands, now part of Kiribati, issued this piece as part of a broader Pacific commemorative program with no administrative connection to the wreck or its recovery.
