| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a diamond tiara, drop earrings, and a pearl necklace, rendered in high relief against a deeply blackened field. The portrait, based on the Pobjoy Mint's own distinguished effigy of the Queen, displays fine detail in the hair and regalia. The legend BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS curves along the upper left rim, while QUEEN ELIZABETH II 2022 arcs along the upper right, all in raised Latin lettering. The Pobjoy Mint privy mark PM appears in the lower left field beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued commemorative bullion under its own authority since gaining greater autonomy in the 1960s, though the territory's coinage remains largely a vehicle for the numismatic market rather than circulation. The "Pearl Black" treatment — a controlled oxidation or lacquer process applied post-strike — is a finishing technique that became commercially popular among Commonwealth mints in the 2010s as a way to differentiate collector issues from standard proof or bullion production.
Pegasus-themed issues from this territory have been produced across multiple years with varying finishes, making date and finish variants the primary collecting distinction within the series.
