25 Dollars - Elizabeth II Columbus getting provisions for his ships

Issued to mark the quincentenary of Columbus's 1492 voyage, this coin appeared during a crowded commemorative market — dozens of nations across the Caribbean and Europe struck similar pieces for the anniversary, flooding collector channels and suppressing secondary-market premiums almost immediately. The British Virgin Islands had no direct connection to Columbus's first landfall, though islands within the chain were encountered during his second voyage in 1493.
