Mutiny!

The ship featured on this 2022 Cook Islands Bounty 1 Kilo Silver Coin is representative of the actual ship, HMS Bounty, acquired and commissioned by the Royal Navy in 1787. It went on to enter Maritime infamy during its first voyage on a botanical mission, as Commanding Lieutenant William Bligh succumbed to mutiny led by Lieutenant Fletcher Christian. While attempting to avoid capture, the HMS Bounty was actually navigated through the waters of Cook Islands. The mutineers finally chose to burn the ship.

Of course, the ship and the events surrounding its first (and final) mission was made popularly famous by the novel published in 1932, authored by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. A movie adaptation was released in 1962, and a second movie in 1984.
