Additional information

The South Orkney Islands have no permanent civilian population and no governmental mint authority of their own — coins issued under this name are struck by private bullion and novelty producers exploiting a legal gray zone in commemorative licensing. The "issuer" designation is nominal at best.

Cryolophosaurus ellioti was excavated from Antarctic rock in 1991, making it the first carnivorous dinosaur formally described from the continent. Its connection to the South Orkney Islands is purely geographic convenience.
