20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Brass Dividers

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.
