The Bicentenary of James Cook’s Voyage 1769–1969 commemorates 200 years since Captain James Cook’s historic first expedition to the Pacific aboard HMS Endeavour. This voyage, commissioned by the Royal Society, aimed to observe the transit of Venus and led to Cook’s detailed mapping of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia. Celebrated through coins, medals, and exhibitions, the bicentenary honoured Cook’s enduring contributions to exploration, navigation, and the expansion of geographical knowledge.
