The British Virgin Islands issued this piece as part of a wave of commemorative bimetallic coinage timed to the lead-up to the 2012 London Games, capitalizing on the territory's right as a British Overseas Territory to produce legal tender under Crown authority. Titanium centers became a favored novelty in the early 2000s collector market, prized for the metal's capacity to take vivid interference coloring through anodization — a process that has no equivalent in traditional precious-metal striking.
KM#386a distinguishes this from a related silver-only variant in the same series.
