| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued commemorative coinage under royal warrant since 1973, though the territory has no independent monetary policy — the US dollar is the functional currency and these pieces are produced purely for the collector market. This lion dollar is part of a broader series commissioned through the Pobjoy Mint, which has held the BVI commemorative contract for decades and produces the territory's coins in Surrey rather than on the islands themselves.
