Reverse
The reverse of the 2024 1/2 Gram Gold Bounty Coins showcases the HMS Bounty.

This cultural phenomenon has made it one of the most famous naval incidents, shaping how we view 18th-century maritime life.
History
Fletcher Christian and eight other mutineers, along with six Tahitian men, 12 Tahitian women, and a child, eventually settled on the remote Pitcairn Island in January 1790. They burned the Bounty to avoid detection and to prevent anyone from leaving. The 16 mutineers who stayed in Tahiti were eventually arrested by the HMS Pandora in 1791. Four drowned when the Pandora sank, and the remaining 10 were court-martialed in England. Three were hanged, four were acquitted, and three were pardoned.
