Comment
Part of the 24-coins set "Masterpieces in Silver" with the paintures of the most known artist.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, but it was not issued by the Royal Mint or any other official mint. Instead, it was issued by the British Virgin Islands, a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, as a non-circulating coin. This means that it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. The coin's design, featuring Modigliani's artwork, adds to its unique character and makes it stand out among other coins featuring the Queen's image.
