The third coin minted by the Central Bank and the first bearing a likeness of a person is the 2005 $10 Westarctican Dollars coin. It features an image of Grand Duke Travis on the obverse, which was created from a portrait session. The reverse provides a rare example of a color version of Westarctica's arms as they were in 2005. | The third coin minted by the Central Bank and the first bearing a likeness of a person is the 2005 $10 Westarctican Dollars coin.
