Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Henry IV on the reverse side, who was a king of England in the 15th century. This is unusual as most coins feature images of Queen Elizabeth II, who is the current monarch of the British Virgin Islands. The coin's design was likely chosen to commemorate the 600th anniversary of King Henry IV's accession to the throne.
