The waters around the Pitcairn Islands in the remote South Pacific occasionally host blue whales, particularly during their migration routes through this part of the ocean. This region falls within the range of Southern Hemisphere blue whale populations that move between Antarctic feeding grounds and more northern breeding areas. The deep, nutrient-rich waters surrounding these isolated islands can provide a suitable habitat for blue whales.

The obverse of the 2025 Pitcairn Islands Gold Ocean Wonders Whale Coin features King Charles III in a left-profile view. Shown without a crown, this likeness is part of the first generation of official portraits and was designed by Glyn Davies.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold Ocean Wonders Whale Coin, the blue whale appears swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Found in all major oceans, blue whales are present in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are typically found in deep, open waters and migrate seasonally to transition between feeding and breeding grounds.
