| 背面描述 | The reverse features a bold left-facing bust of Sir Francis Drake, bearded and wearing an Elizabethan ruff collar, occupying the left-center field. To his right, a finely detailed engraving of a galleon under full sail dominates the mid-field, with a distant naval battle scene depicting multiple ships in the background. The inscription SIR FRANCIS DRAKE c.1540-1596 appears to the upper right of the portrait, while the legend QUADRICENTENNIAL OF THE LIFE OF ELIZABETH I 1533-1603 curves along the outer border. Below, the inscription THE SPANISH ARMADA - 1588 appears in the lower field, with the denomination $10 and the Pobjoy Mint mark PM displayed at the bottom. |

Drake's circumnavigation of 1577–80 was partly a licensed privateering operation — Queen Elizabeth I invested in the voyage and took a share of the plunder, which included roughly £160,000 stripped from Spanish ships and ports along the Pacific coast of South America. The Spanish demanded his extradition and execution. Elizabeth knighted him on the deck of the Golden Hind instead.
The British Virgin Islands issued extensively in this format during the early 2000s, producing themed silver crowns for the collector market with little connection to local monetary history.
