Comment

The coin comes two ways.... The individual dollar coin or in a silver proof set. The coin also comes as a cupro-nickel in a non-silver proof set. Both are 6 coin sets.

Interesting fact

The Butterfly Fish coin from the British Virgin Islands features a unique design that showcases the beauty of the island's marine life. Did you know that the Butterfly Fish is actually a misnomer? The fish depicted on the coin is actually a species of angelfish, specifically the Blue-and-yellow Angelfish (Pomacanthus xanthometopon)? This species is native to the Caribbean and can be found in the waters surrounding the British Virgin Islands.
