| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint has produced coins for the British Virgin Islands since the territory began issuing commemorative coinage in the 1970s, operating as a private Surrey-based mint on royal warrant rather than under the Royal Mint's authority. This platinum issue is part of a broader mythological series that Pobjoy developed specifically for BVI — a jurisdiction with no domestic mint and no pressing monetary need for the denomination, making these effectively bullion collectibles issued under Crown territory authority.
