Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Ferdinand of Spain on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other, despite being issued by the British Virgin Islands. This unique design choice was likely made to commemorate the historical connection between the British Virgin Islands and Spain, as the islands were once a Spanish colony before being ceded to the British in the 17th century.
