Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed specifically for the British Virgin Islands. The portrait was created by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it shows the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace that includes a pendant in the shape of a shell. This design element is a nod to the islands' history and culture, as shells have been an important part of the local economy and traditions for centuries.
