| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of British Commonwealth commemorative issues that flooded the market in the mid-2000s, largely produced by the Pobjoy Mint or the Royal Mint's contract operations for smaller dependent territories. The British Virgin Islands, as a UK Overseas Territory, issued prolifically during this period — many of these series were commercially driven rather than monetarily necessary, targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
KM#552 is not a widely referenced variety, and secondary market depth for this specific issue is thin.
