British Virgin Islands 1 dollar Frigate Birds KM-6 MS68 PCGS CuNi coin 1981

The British Virgin Islands $1 coin (1981) captures the grace and freedom of the frigate birds, iconic symbols of the Caribbean skies. On the reverse, two majestic birds are depicted soaring above the ocean — one in full flight, wings spread wide, and another gliding elegantly forward. Their detailed feathers and dynamic poses are set against a prooflike background, with the inscription “One Dollar” below. The obverse bears the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Arnold Machin, encircled by the inscription “Elizabeth the Second – British Virgin Islands – 1981.”

Struck in cupro-nickel and graded PCGS MS68, this coin reflects the pristine mint quality and artistic excellence of the Franklin Mint. A tribute to the natural beauty and freedom of the Caribbean, this piece will enhance any collection focused on wildlife or British colonial territories.
