| Obverse description | The Pobjoy Mint exclusive effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in right-facing portrait, occupying the upper portion of the coin shaped in the form of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben). The legend 'BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS' and the date '2016' along with 'ELIZABETH II' are inscribed within the field. The coin's outline faithfully replicates the Gothic Revival architecture of the tower, with the clock face, ornamental belfry, and spire rendered in high relief with fine architectural detail. |

The denomination '$ 1' appears within a rectangular cartouche positioned at the base of the tower. The antique-finish surface enhances the architectural texture and depth of the design, giving the coin a three-dimensional monumental quality. |
