100 Dollars - Elizabeth II Coronation Jubilee

The British Virgin Islands gained a new constitution in 1967 and began issuing its own coinage in 1973, largely as a revenue mechanism through collector sales rather than circulating currency. This 1978 issue marks the 25th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation, one of dozens of similar jubilee pieces struck across Commonwealth territories that year — most produced by the Franklin Mint under contract.

At .900 fine and just over seven grams, the actual gold content sits close to that of a quarter-eagle. Collector demand at issue was modest; the Franklin Mint's aggressive marketing of Commonwealth commemoratives throughout the 1970s ultimately saturated the market.
