Minted in 2000, it features the Missionary Ship Duff from 1797 on the reverse. The three-masted ship”Duff” arrived in Tahiti’s Matavai Bay on March 5, 1797, completing a 207-day voyage from London. The ship, commanded by Capt. John Wilson, had aboard 37 artisans and pastors of the London Missionary Society (LMS) and their families, who were to be resettled in the South Pacific on the islands of Tahiti, Tonga and the Marquesas. During his travels aboard the “Duff,” Capt. Wilson discovered the Archipelago of Mangareva, which he named Gambier in honor of the British admiral sponsoring the expedition.
