| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, rendered in fine detail with the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The circular legend reads BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS to the left and QUEEN ELIZABETH II to the right, with the date 2016 at lower right. The denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by two raised dots on each side. The proof finish produces a sharp cameo contrast between the frosted portrait and the mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has no independent monetary policy and uses the US dollar as its official currency, meaning coins issued under its name are not produced for circulation — they exist purely as licensed collector pieces, typically contracted through private minting operations rather than any sovereign monetary authority. This swan issue is one of dozens of such releases targeting the commemorative market.
