| Beschrijving keerzijde | A pair of open brass dividers, depicted in bold relief, centered within a raised square frame against a deeply mirrored proof field. The dividers are shown open wide with pointed legs extending downward and a circular pivot joint at the apex. Below the square frame, two confronted heraldic dolphins or sea creatures flank the base, serving as decorative supporters. The denomination legend TWENTY DOLLARS is inscribed along the left and right outer margins of the field, flanking the central square motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The British Virgin Islands issued a series of silver collector pieces throughout the 1980s tied to historical navigation instruments, capitalizing on the islands' deep association with maritime exploration and the age of sail. Brass dividers — used by navigators to measure distances on charts — were foundational tools aboard vessels transiting these waters for centuries. This piece belongs to that thematic series rather than representing any circulating monetary issue; the BVI had no practical need for a $20 denomination in everyday commerce.
