Historical Context: Issued in 2022, this British Virgin Islands 1 Dollar coin features Queen Elizabeth II, a poignant year marking her Platinum Jubilee and passing. As a British Overseas Territory, the British Virgin Islands honored the monarch. The "Santa Maria" theme references Christopher Columbus's flagship, central to European exploration of the Americas and the Caribbean. This silver bullion piece serves as both a collectible and an investment, reflecting contemporary numismatic trends.
Artistry: The obverse showcases the elegant Fifth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, a recognized effigy for Commonwealth coinage. The reverse design meticulously depicts the Santa Maria, likely in full sail, capturing maritime exploration. The artistic style emphasizes realism and intricate detail, particularly in the ship's rigging and hull. The "Reverse Frosted" finish enhances the design, presenting a frosted background against brilliant design elements, creating striking visual contrast.
Technical/Grading: Struck in .999 fine silver, weighing 31.103 grams (one troy ounce) and measuring 38.6 millimeters, this coin adheres to standard modern bullion specifications. Key high-points for grading include fine details of Queen Elizabeth II’s crown and hair, and the delicate rigging, sails, and hull lines of the Santa Maria. The "Reverse Frosted" quality implies matte fields and brilliant devices, requiring careful handling to preserve surface contrast. A sharp, full strike is expected, typical of modern minting techniques.
