1 Dollar Saint John

The U.S. Virgin Islands issues collector dollars under a territorial framework that allows locally themed coinage without Federal Reserve involvement — a legislative gap that has produced dozens of these silver-plated issues since the early 2000s. Saint John, the smallest of the three main islands, was the site of a major slave rebellion in 1733, when enslaved Africans of Akwamu origin seized control of the island for nearly a year before Danish colonial forces, aided by French troops from Martinique, suppressed it.
