William Bligh is remembered today as the sadistic martinet who provoked the mutiny on the Bounty. But there was another Bligh: a brilliant navigator, a pioneer of ethnographic research and a thorn in the side of the class-bound naval establishment. This proof silver crown issued by Gibraltar as part of the "Traders of the World " series, recognizes his accomplishments and would be a great addition to any collection of nautical or world coins. Comes in a Mint issued presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
