| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued commemorative silver rounds under royal authority since the 1970s, exploiting a licensing arrangement that allows the territory to produce legal tender coinage well beyond anything its domestic economy requires. This piece is built around an actual Lincoln Memorial cent — a genuine circulated or uncirculated US one-cent piece encapsulated within the silver field and gold-clad, a production technique pioneered by several private mints in the 2000s to add tactile novelty to the bullion commemorative market.
The Lincoln Memorial reverse on the cent dates to 1959, replacing the original Wheat reverse to mark the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
