| Reverse description | A finely detailed rendering of the HMAV Bounty under full sail occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter view with all masts and rigging visible, the vessel sailing on choppy seas with rugged mountainous coastline in the background. The design commemorates the bicentenary of the famous mutiny. The legend 'HMAV BOUNTY' curves along the upper left periphery, with the commemorative dates '1789 - 1989' inscribed in italic script to the upper right. The scene is executed in high relief with exceptional engraving detail throughout the rigging and hull. |
