| Additional information |
The Snowy owl dollar is part of a broader series of wildlife-themed issues produced for the British Virgin Islands by the Pobjoy Mint, which has held the territory's minting contract for decades. These coins circulate in name only — silver-plated copper-nickel pieces aimed squarely at the collector market, with negligible presence in actual BVI commerce.
