Comment
Krauze catalogues lists this coins twice:- year 2003 under number KM#253
- year 2004 under number KM#306
In fact, both coins are exactly the same (except of the different year) and shouldn't be listed separately.
Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Chariot) 2003-2004 coin from the British Virgin Islands features a unique design that showcases the Queen's love for horse racing. The coin's reverse side depicts Queen Elizabeth II riding a chariot, pulled by two horses, in a nod to her passion for equestrian sports. This design was created by the artist, Joel Iskowitz, and it's a rare and interesting feature for a coin.
