Based upon the historical Royal Navy ship, HMS Bounty, which was lost to mutiny in 1789.
The ship depicted on this coin, the HMS Bounty, gained infamy during its first voyage when it succumbed to a mutiny led by Lieutenant Fletcher Christian. Interestingly, the mutineers navigated the HMS Bounty through the waters of the Cook Islands before ultimately choosing to burn the ship. The events surrounding this ship were popularized by the novel published in 1932, authored by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, and later adapted into movies.
