| Reverse description | The reverse features two superimposed left-facing profile portraits commemorating the centennial transition from the Morgan Dollar to the Peace Dollar: the allegorical Spirit of Liberty as depicted on the Morgan Dollar, and the Goddess of Liberty as rendered on the Peace Dollar. The dual portraits are presented in high relief against a black pearl-finish field, evoking the artistic heritage of both iconic American coin designs. The upper legend commemorates the 100th anniversary of the transition, while the denomination $20 appears in the lower field. Date references 1921 and 2021 flank the central inscription to mark both the historical and commemorative years. |

| Additional information |
The "transition" framing here refers to the 1921–1922 changeover, when the Morgan Dollar was discontinued after a brief resurrection and replaced by the Peace Dollar — itself a politically loaded decision tied to post-WWI sentiment and Treasury pressure to modernize American coinage. The British Virgin Islands had no role in any of that history. This is a modern commemorative piedfort struck for the collector market, with the doubled planchet weight that defines the piedfort format.
