附加信息	Part of the British Virgin Islands' prolific commemorative program of the 1980s, this issue belongs to a series depicting artifacts recovered from shipwrecks in BVI waters — specifically hardware associated with the era of Caribbean sail. Lock plates of this type were standard iron fittings on chests and strongboxes carried aboard merchant and privateer vessels, making them among the more archaeologically common finds in shallow-water wreck surveys throughout the archipelago.
