附加信息	HMS Providence made its second breadfruit voyage to the Pacific in 1791–93 under Captain William Bligh, completing the mission that the Bounty mutiny had interrupted two years earlier. The breadfruit plants were successfully delivered to the Caribbean, though the scheme to feed enslaved plantation workers largely failed — the enslaved population simply refused to eat the unfamiliar fruit. Fiji issued several collector-oriented silver pieces around 2001 tied to Pacific maritime history, this being among them. KM#82 was not intended for circulation.
