| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed depiction of the Elizabethan galleon Ark Royal under full sail, shown in three-quarter view traversing open seas. The ship displays multiple masts with rigging and flags aloft, rendered in intricate relief. A decorative ribbon banner at the top of the inner field bears the legend 'THE ARK ROYAL', while a scrolled ribbon banner at the base carries the date '1588', commemorating the year of the Spanish Armada engagement. The denomination '$20' appears in the upper right field, and the entire central design is framed by a rope-style border within the reeded edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ark Royal name has been carried by six Royal Navy vessels, a lineage deliberately maintained as a matter of institutional tradition rather than coincidence. The ship most likely commemorated here is the fifth HMS Ark Royal, a fleet carrier commissioned in 1955 and decommissioned in 1979, though the name's association with the 1588 Armada campaign — when the original Ark Royal served as Lord Howard of Effingham's flagship — gives any such issue its real historical weight.
The British Virgin Islands issued numerous silver $20 pieces around the millennium under KM#200-series references, most tied to Royal Navy or British heritage themes. Collector demand for the series has always been modest.
