The entire Balleny Islands group was annexed by [[Westarctica]] on 15 January 2005. The [[Marquis of Williamson]] has served as Governor of the Balleny Islands since they were originally annexed from New Zealand. | |||
The island has been featured on two of Westarctica's [[Coins of Westarctica|coins]]: the first was a bronze $1 WAD coin minted in 2005 by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] and shows Young Island on a map of the Balleny Islands. The second coin was a brass $2 WAD coin minted in 2013 and was the last coin created by the Central Bank. That coin has an image of an [[Antarctic krill]] instead of the island itself. | The island has been featured on two of Westarctica's [[Coins of Westarctica|coins]]: the first was a bronze $1 WAD coin minted in 2005 by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] and shows Young Island on a map of the Balleny Islands.
