    Bermuda is a British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean known for its pink-sand beaches such as Elbow Beach and Horseshoe Bay. Its massive Royal Naval Dockyard complex combines modern attractions like the interactive Dolphin Quest with maritime history at the National Museum of Bermuda. The island has a distinctive blend of British and American culture, which can be found in the capital, Hamilton.
    Coin collector Joshua Holman provided the following clarifications:
    There is a story behind the pig. When Bermuda was first settled by the English, pigs were the only food on the island. Also the pig is a tribute to the original money issued by the settlers (it had pigs on it as well). The motif on the penny reflects these things. On the page, you also wonder "Is Bermuda even a real country?"
    The answer to that is no. Bermuda is is "overseas territory" of the United Kingdom (i.e., a colony).
