| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued commemorative dollars under UK territorial authority since the early 1970s, largely targeting the collector market rather than circulation. This particular piece — gold-plated over copper-nickel — is a budget-friendly variant of a format the Pobjoy Mint produced extensively for BVI during this period, often in multiple finish tiers for the same design.
The plating is .999 fine gold over a base metal core, a distinction that matters considerably for resale.
