British Virgin Islands 20 dollars Caribbean Treasures Gold Bar silver coin 1985

The British Virgin Islands 20 Dollars “Caribbean Treasures – Gold Bar” Silver Coin 1985 pays homage to the legendary wealth carried by Spanish galleons across the Caribbean Sea. Its reverse features a textured gold bar modeled after historical shipwreck bullion, complete with worn markings and uneven surfaces that evoke centuries beneath the waves. Surrounding it is an ornate frame with scrolling leaves, elegant flourishes, a scallop shell at the top, and stylized wings at the bottom — symbols of ocean travel, hidden riches, and maritime discovery. The inscription TWENTY DOLLARS curves around the central motif, emphasizing the piece’s refined symmetry.

The obverse presents the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, highlighted by her floral crown, pearl earring, necklace, and finely detailed hair. The mirror-like proof fields frame the inscription ELIZABETH THE SECOND • BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS • 1985, adding stately harmony to the design.

Struck in silver with brilliant Proof quality, this coin belongs to the collectible Caribbean Treasures series, celebrating artifacts left behind by explorers, merchants, and shipwrecks. Its strong theme, intricate engraving, and historical appeal make it a standout piece for numismatists fascinated by maritime lore.
