| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint has produced wildlife coinage for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands since the territory gained its own numismatic program in the 1990s, partly as a revenue mechanism for one of the most remote and administratively thin British Overseas Territories on earth. The southern elephant seal — the world's largest pinniped — breeds almost exclusively on South Georgia's beaches, with the island hosting roughly half the global population.
KM#23 is one of several denomination-sharing wildlife types Pobjoy issued for the territory in this period, most seeing negligible circulation given the island's permanent population of zero.
