| Reverse description | The central field displays the official badge of Sibir Novosibirsk Hockey Club: a stylised snowflake emblem rendered in black and white enamel, set within a black circular band bearing the inscriptions SIBIR HOCKEY CLUB and • NOVOSIBIRSK •. This central medallion is surrounded by a broad turquoise-blue enamel ring carrying the fan motto I AM SIBIR flanked by snowflake ornaments. The outer annular field, left uncoloured in silver-plated relief, depicts a crowd of celebrating hockey supporters in dynamic poses. Snowflake motifs punctuate the border of the coloured zone. |

| Additional information |
The Sibir Novosibirsk hockey club, founded in 1962, spent decades as a mid-tier Soviet and later Russian league side before a brief, unexpected rise to Kontinental Hockey League prominence in the early 2010s. This British Virgin Islands issue belongs to a sprawling genre of licensed sports collectibles struck for the souvenir market rather than circulation — the BVI's numismatic program has long relied on contracted third-party licensors to generate these runs, with distribution handled almost entirely outside the territory itself.
