Obverse: Pobjoy Mint Effigy. Reverse: the outline of Diego Garcia Island is shown in the centre of the coin with some of the native wildlife also shown. A Turtle, a Booby Bird and some Angelfish can be seen alongside a coral reef.

The British Indian Ocean Territory consists of the seven atolls of the Chagos Archipelago with over 55 individual islands – many of which are tiny. The largest and most southerly island is Diego Garcia which features on the coin with some of the diverse wildlife of Britain’s greatest area of marine biodiversity.
