The Balleny Islands coins were the first coins minted by the Central Bank, they were released in early 2005, shortly after the creation of the bank itself. The obverse of the coin shows Westarctica's original coat of arms as designed by [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin|Jon-Lawrence Langer]]. On the reverse is a map of the Balleny Islands showing the islands [[Young Island|Young]], [[Buckle Island|Buckle]], and [[Sturge Island|Sturge]]. It was released in two different metals (bronze and silver), but otherwise, the two coins of the series are identical. | The Balleny Islands coins were the first coins minted by the Central Bank, they were released in early 2005, shortly after the creation of the bank itself.
