| Reverse description | Central vignette depicting the full-rigged sailing vessel Deliverance under sail, rendered in fine detail against a cartographic grid overlaid on a stylised map of the Atlantic Ocean showing the coastlines of Bermuda and adjacent landmasses. The scene is enclosed within a rope-knotted triangular frame mirroring the coin's Reuleaux triangle shape. The engraver's initials 'JRW' appear in the lower right of the central field, and the legend 'BERMUDA' is inscribed in large letters along the base of the coin below the frame. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Bermuda's late-1990s run of large-format gold issues targeting the collector and investor market, a category the territory leaned into heavily during that decade. The "Deliverance" theme references the pinnace built by the survivors of the 1609 Sea Venture shipwreck — the vessel that carried the stranded colonists, including future Virginia governor Sir George Somers, onward to Jamestown after nearly a year on the islands. That wreck is widely credited with establishing permanent English settlement in Bermuda.
At five troy ounces of .999 gold, mintages for issues in this series were tightly controlled, though precise figures for KM#115 are not consistently reported across major references.
