According to the Wikipedia link info, Zachariah Gillam was the Captain of the Nonsuch. Thank you for admiring the medal and the dime info.
I believe Hudson was captain of the Discovery.
Here's a Commorative half link http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/9312
Mutineers set Hudson, his teenage son John, and seven crewmen—men in a small shallop, an open boat, effectively marooning them in Hudson Bay. Mutineers provided the castaways with clothing, powder and shot, some pikes, an iron pot, some meal, and other miscellaneous items.
After the mutiny, Captain Hudson's shallop broke out oars and tried to keep pace with the Discovery for some time.
Mutineers finally tired of the David-Goliath pursuit and unfurled additional sails aboard the Discovery, enabling the larger vessel to leave the tiny open boat behind. Hudson and the other seven aboard the shallop were never seen again, and their fate is unknown.
