| Reverse description | Full equestrian effigy of Queen Elizabeth II seated side-saddle on a walking horse facing left, as depicted during the Trooping the Colour ceremony, the Queen rendered in formal military dress. The curved legend arcs along the upper periphery of the field, flanked by the denomination numeral to the left and the dollar sign with numeral to the right at mid-field. A small engraver's mark appears in the lower field, and a raised border ring frames the design. |

| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued fractional gold pieces under various licensing arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint, which has held an exclusive striking agreement with the territory since the 1970s. This 0.5g denomination sits in a product line aimed squarely at the bullion gift market rather than circulation — the $4 face value was never intended to function as currency in any practical sense.
