| Additional information |
The Diamond Jubilee commemorative program in 2012 was a coordinated Royal Mint-adjacent effort spanning dozens of Commonwealth and associated territories, the British Virgin Islands among them. These issues were produced under license rather than reflecting any local monetary need — the BVI has used the US dollar as its functional currency since 1959, making its "coin" output essentially a bullion and collector program administered from a distance.
KM#417 shares its specification with the standard 28.28g crown-sized format adopted across virtually every Commonwealth commemorative of the period, struck by outside contractors rather than any issuing authority on the islands themselves.
