Comment
Krauze catalogues wrongly describe this coin as 10$ CuNi. In fact, CuNi coin is denominated 1$ and the silver one is 10$ (KM#382a).Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Naval Aviation) 2009 coin from the British Virgin Islands features a unique design that showcases the Queen's interest in naval aviation. The coin's reverse side depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a naval uniform, surrounded by symbols of naval aviation, such as an anchor and a compass. This design was created to commemorate the Queen's long-standing association with the Royal Navy and her role as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces. This coin is a rare and interesting collectible for anyone interested in naval history, aviation, or the British monarchy.
