In 1787, the Royal Navy purchased the HMS Bounty for a botanical mission. The ship, led by William Blighe sailed to South Pacific Islands to acquire breadfruit plants and take them to the West Indies. The crew, led by Lieutenant Fletcher Christian mutinied in 1789 and took it to Pitcaird island where they burned it in an effort to cover their escape. An American explorer recovered several remains in 1957.

 

The obverse side of this coin has Queen Elizabeth II as seen in profile. This design was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. The image shows the queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara which was given to her as a gift at her wedding to Prince Philip. It is her favorite diadem. Above her head to the left is ‘ELIZABETH II’. To the right above her head is ‘COOK ISLANDS’. 

 

On the reverse of the coin is the image of the HMS Bounty after its initial construction. The Bounty was a three masted, fully rigged ship that weighed 215 tons which is relatively small in comparison to other ships in the Royal Navy. Below the image is ‘1 DOLLAR FINE SILVER .9999’.
