| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of a rooster in high relief, standing in profile to the right, rendered in fine engraved detail against a polished silver field. Flanking the rooster on both sides are colorized pink cherry blossom branches with decorative floral sprays and stylized figures, applied by selective color printing. The Chinese character for rooster appears at the left border. The inscription YEAR OF THE ROOSTER and the denomination $10 are placed to the right of the central motif. The overall composition celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rooster within the coin's characteristic scalloped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The British Virgin Islands has issued lunar calendar commemoratives under royal authority since the early 2000s, operating as a licensing arrangement rather than a genuine monetary need — no one spends these. The Rooster is the tenth sign in the twelve-year cycle, and 2017 marked the Year of the Ding You Rooster, the fire rooster occurring only once every sixty years under the sexagenary cycle.
KM#515 is a one-troy-ounce .999 fine issue, placing it squarely in the bullion-adjacent commemorative category that flooded the market throughout the 2010s from Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories using the Windsor portrait as legitimizing cover.
