The obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Gold Bounty Coin features a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design, created by Glyn Davies, is an uncrowned depiction of the King and is among the early effigies used on official coinage.

On the reverse of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold Bounty Coin, HMS Bounty is shown sailing at full mast. The ship gained notoriety following the 1789 mutiny when Lieutenant Bligh and 18 loyal crew members were cast adrift in a small boat. Despite the odds, Bligh navigated over 3,600 miles to safety in Timor. Meanwhile, some of the mutineers sought refuge on Pitcairn Island, where they remained to avoid capture. Today, their descendants still live on the island, preserving a culture that blends British and Polynesian traditions.
