| Reverse description | A Guardian Angel with large outstread wings hovers protectively above a helmeted soldier in the foreground, the figures rendered in high relief against a lightly detailed background evoking a military scene. The angel's face is serene and watchful, positioned centrally at the top of the design, with wings extending across nearly the full width of the coin. The soldier below wears a combat helmet and appears in three-quarter view, conveying solemnity and devotion. The denomination $1 is inscribed in the lower central field beneath the figures. The composition is dramatic and emotive, executed in a classical sculptural style. |

| Additional information |
The Guardian Angel dollar is part of a long-running Pobjoy series issued for the British Virgin Islands, one of several Caribbean territories for which Pobjoy has held a long-standing minting franchise. These pieces circulate nominally but are produced primarily for the collector market, with distribution handled almost entirely through direct sales rather than through any banking channel in the territory itself.
