| Additional information |
The HMAV *Bounty* arrived at Pitcairn in January 1790, when Fletcher Christian and eight other mutineers, along with a group of Tahitian men and women, burned the ship to prevent detection by the Royal Navy. Their descendants still populate the island today — the entire community of roughly fifty people. Pitcairn has no independent mint facility and no meaningful circulating economy, so its coinage program exists entirely as a revenue mechanism, with issues contracted through foreign minting houses and sold directly to collectors.
