The HMS Bounty is the site of the most famous mutiny in maritime history. Here the crew, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied against their captain, Captain William Bligh. This story was the inspiration for a motion picture that featured memorable performances by Marlon Brando and Richard Harris. Many are drawn to the story that points out the foibles of man, the intricacies of governing a group of men at sea, and the fragility of a captain’s command. After the mutiny, Captain William Bligh found the mutineers and took them into custody.

The first 1/10 oz I bought, decided I needed smaller denominations.
This is a beautiful coin in flawless condition at a fair price.
May need a few more.

This should get 6 stars. It came with a free capsule! Hell’s Yeah! This coin series is easily a candidate for Most Beautiful Coin. The silver and gold versions in all sizes are just remarkable. Highly recommended coin series. This fractional gold piece is an excellent entry point for those starting out in the game of gold coins. Easy to liquidate if need to and easily recognizable. Recommended.
