The inscriptions 1944, BY SEA, JUNE 6, and D-DAY appear prominently across the upper and left portions of the field in bold raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Pitcairn Islands — population under fifty, no airport, no regular shipping schedule — remain one of Britain's most logistically isolated overseas territories. The island's connection to coinage is almost entirely commemorative; virtually nothing circulates in the conventional sense, as most transactions on-island run on barter, supply ships, and online sales of stamps and coins to collectors worldwide.
KM#134 is part of the "By Sea" series marking Charles III's accession, a theme pointed enough for Pitcairn — the island is reachable only by a roughly 36-hour boat passage from Mangareva.
