| Reverse description | The reverse celebrates the return of golf to the Olympic Games after a 112-year absence, depicting a male golfer mid-swing set prominently in the field, with an Olympic torch rendered in the foreground. Two applied color ribbons flank the central design: one bearing the Brazilian national flag and the other displaying the Union Jack, referencing the host nation and the British Virgin Islands respectively. The face value inscription OLYMPIC $10 appears in the lower portion of the design, completing the commemorative composition. |

| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has no historical connection to golf whatsoever — this coin exists purely because the 2016 Rio Olympics marked the sport's return to the Games after a 112-year absence, and small Commonwealth territories routinely license their minting authority to produce commemorative issues targeting thematic collectors rather than circulation. The BVI itself uses the US dollar for everyday commerce and mints virtually nothing for domestic use.
