Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing Queen Elizabeth II with a sword in a guillon (a type of heraldic shield) on the obverse, while the reverse features a detailed image of a local landmark, the Tortola Pier. This design was created by the British Virgin Islands' own sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and was only produced in 1985, making it a rare and collectible coin.
