| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the queen with a tiara and draped bust. The legend BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS arcs along the left periphery, while QUEEN ELIZABETH II curves along the upper right, with the date 2008 positioned at the lower right of the field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and drapery, characteristic of the Rank-Broadley style used across British Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward. |

| Additional information |
Queen Anne's reign is inseparable from the Act of Union 1707, which merged the Parliaments of England and Scotland into a single Kingdom of Great Britain — an event she personally championed against significant opposition from Scottish nobility. The British Virgin Islands, still a Crown dependency three centuries later, issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program marking figures central to British constitutional history.
Anne died in 1714 without surviving heirs despite seventeen pregnancies, ending the Stuart line entirely.
