Along with Byron's bust they chose to place a full view rendition of the survey ship he twice circumnavigated the world in along with Samuel Wallis. As you will see in the coin's image the name of the ship is HMS Dolphin. The reason I place this coin in the <i>weapons on coins </i>category is the fact that 16 HMS Dolphins have been commissioned by the British Royal Navy for battle. This ship,the ninth HMS Dolphin, was launched in 1751.It was a 24-cannon sixth-rate battle-ready naval vessel. It was decommissioned and broken up in 1777.</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=nmc/tok-9&desc=Tokelau%20km9%205%20Tala%20(1989)%20Captain%20John%20Byron" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=nmc/tok-9&desc=Tokelau%20km9%205%20Tala%20(1989)%20Captain%20John%20Byron" rel="nofollow">http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=nmc/tok-9&desc=Tokelau%20km9%205%20Tala%20(1989)%20Captain%20John%20Byron</a></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">The Vatican is no stranger to the implements of battle.

The Swiss cross adorns the shield. Here's a reprentative image: [/FONT][URL="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=img3/172-23&desc=Switzerland%20km23%201/2%20Franc%20(1875-1967"]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=img3/172-23&desc=Switzerland%20km23%201/2%20Franc%20(1875-1967[/URL]) Tokelau or Union Island authorized a commemorative coin in 1989 in the denomination of five tala to honor John Byron. Along with Byron's bust they chose to place a full view rendition of the survey ship he twice circumnavigated the world in along with Samuel Wallis. As you will see in the coin's image the name of the ship is HMS Dolphin. The reason I place this coin in the [I]weapons on coins [/I]category is the fact that 16 HMS Dolphins have been commissioned by the British Royal Navy for battle. This ship,the ninth HMS Dolphin, was launched in 1751.It was a 24-cannon sixth-rate battle-ready naval vessel. It was decommissioned and broken up in 1777.
