British Virgin Islands 50 cents Two Pelicans PR68 PCGS proof silver coin 1977

The British Virgin Islands 50 Cents 1977 silver Proof coin, certified PCGS PR68 DCAM, is a tribute to both Caribbean wildlife and the royal celebrations of the era. Its reverse presents an expressive scene with two pelicans — one standing on the shore with folded wings and long curved beak, the other captured mid-flight above it. The birds’ feathers, silhouettes and beaks are carefully engraved, creating a vivid impression of motion. The bold 50 CENTS denomination is placed to the left, complemented by small textured ground details under the standing pelican.

The obverse honors the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, marked by the inscription ELIZABETH II • SILVER JUBILEE • BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS • 1977. The portrait shows the Queen wearing an ornate crown with floral elements, detailed curls, and a finely modeled neckline, all set against a deep mirror field typical of high-quality Proof strikes.

Struck in silver by the Franklin Mint, this coin blends wildlife artistry with historical significance. The PR68 grade ensures strong eye appeal and crisp contrasts, making it an excellent choice for collectors of Jubilee issues, bird themes, and early British Virgin Islands commemoratives.
