The British Indian Ocean Territory — administered from London and home to the Diego Garcia military base — issues coins with no domestic civilian population to spend them. These pieces exist entirely for the collector market, funded through licensing agreements that generate revenue for the territory's administration. The Black Bull of Clarence is one of the eight hereditary beasts drawn from the 1953 coronation ceremony, each tied to a specific noble lineage claimed by the Crown.
