| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, modeled by Raphael David Maklouf, with pearl drop earring and necklace visible. The legend ELIZABETH THE SECOND arcs across the upper field, with BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS continuing along the right periphery. The date 1985 appears in the lower field flanked by raised dots, and the engraver's initials RDM are incused at the truncation. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of Franklin Mint production. |

The denomination legend TWENTY DOLLARS arcs around the left and lower periphery of the design in bold block lettering. A scallop shell device appears at the top of the field above the cup, and the Franklin Mint's winged mintmark is positioned at the base below the cup. |
