Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1988 British Virgin Islands 50 Dollar Gold Coin featuring Elizabeth II (Two-headed Animal) is that it has a unique two-headed animal design on the reverse side, which is a mythical creature that is half-horse and half-dragon. This design was created by the artist, John H. Mills, and it is said to represent the dual nature of the British Virgin Islands, which have a strong connection to both the sea and the land. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
