Pierre de Coubertin, the French educator credited with reviving the Olympic Games in 1896, spent decades lobbying an indifferent European sporting establishment before the first Athens games were finally authorized by the International Olympic Congress in 1894. The British Virgin Islands issued this copper piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to the 2012 London Games cycle, a pattern common among dependent territories with no domestic Olympic teams of their own.
