| Additional information |
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent civilian population and issues no currency for actual use — its coins are produced solely for the collector market, with the territory's name lending a veneer of geographic legitimacy to commemorative programs administered from elsewhere. The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey was established in November 1920, the Unknown's identity deliberately never investigated, a decision made and maintained at the highest levels of the British government.
The coloured variant is catalogued separately from KM#37a, distinguishing applied surface treatment as a distinct issue rather than a finish variant.
