Similar design was used five years later by British Virgin Islands - see references.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-portrait design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and her predecessor Queen Elizabeth I depicted on the same coin. This design was created to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I's coronation in 1559.
