| Reverse description | A boldly rendered lemon shark depicted in high relief occupies the centre of the field, shown in a three-quarter facing pose with open jaws revealing serrated teeth, conveying power and motion. The shark is encircled by a decorative border composed of stylised small fish arranged in an oval wreath-like formation, interspersed with scattered individual fish in the field. The denomination '$1' appears in the lower exergue beneath the shark, rendered in upright Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Pobjoy Mint has produced wildlife-themed coinage for British Overseas Territories and smaller island nations since the 1970s, operating as a private mint on contract rather than as a sovereign issuing authority. The lemon shark series was struck for one such territory, the circulation figures kept low by design — these were produced as collectibles from the outset, not intended to pass through local commerce.
