| Aanvullende informatie |
The HMS Bounty mutiny of 1789 has generated more commemorative coinage than almost any other naval episode in history, which makes this BEAC issue a curious object. The Bank of Central African States — whose member nations include Cameroon, Chad, and the Central African Republic — has issued an aggressive series of themed collector coins since the 2010s, largely unrelated to the monetary or historical experience of those territories. These coins are minted for the international bullion-collector market, not for circulation.
The Bounty itself was a converted merchant vessel, never a warship, sent to transport breadfruit seedlings from Tahiti to the Caribbean.
