The mutiny on the HMS Bounty had a significant impact on the region, the Royal Navy, and naval warfare overall. The court-martials of the captured mutineers in 1792 set important legal precedents. The trials highlighted issues of naval discipline, the rights of sailors, and the limits of a captain’s authority. These proceedings influenced subsequent maritime law and military justice systems.

The obverse of the 2024 Pitcairn Islands Gold Bounty Coins features a bust of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait shows the new monarch without a crown, and it was designed by Glyn Davies. This is one of many new images of His Majesty used on coins throughout the Commonwealth.

The reverse of the 2024 1/2 Gram Gold Bounty Coins depicts the HMS Bounty. Although the mutiny took place between late 1789 and early 1790, its story has continued to captivate people for centuries. The mutiny has inspired numerous books, films, and other media, making it one of the most famous naval incidents in history and shaping our understanding of 18th-century maritime life.
