| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands came under the authority of the Clunies-Ross family for over a century before the Australian government purchased the islands outright in 1978 — making this 1977 anniversary issue one of the last coinages produced under that private fiefdom. John Clunies-Ross had established his dynasty there in the 1820s, and the family effectively ran the atoll as a personal estate, including issuing their own currency for use among the Cocos Malay workforce. This piece sits in that final window, struck just before Canberra ended the arrangement entirely.
