| Additional information |
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent civilian population — the indigenous Chagossians were forcibly removed between 1968 and 1973 to make way for the U.S. military base at Diego Garcia. Coins issued under this territory's name are produced solely for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation history whatsoever.
