Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, on the obverse side. This is a unique design element, as most coins featuring the Queen's image use a more traditional or formal portrait. The use of Vermeer's artwork adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the British Virgin Islands' currency.
