20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Baltimore Clipper

The Baltimore Clipper was not a specific vessel but a hull form — a sharp-bowed, two-masted schooner design developed in the Chesapeake Bay region in the late 18th century, refined specifically for speed over cargo capacity. Extensively used for privateering during the War of 1812, the type later found less reputable employment in the illegal slave trade, where speed past naval interdiction patrols mattered more than anything else.

The British Virgin Islands issued numerous silver pieces under this sailing ships series around 2000, most struck by the Pobjoy Mint under Royal Warrant.
