British Virgin Islands 20 dollars Gold Monstrance PR69 PCGS silver coin 1985

The British Virgin Islands 20 Dollars 1985 “Gold Monstrance” silver coin is a beautifully crafted Proof commemorative, certified PR69 PCGS. Dedicated to the historic Catholic monstrance used for displaying the Eucharist, this issue blends religious symbolism with refined numismatic artistry.

The reverse features a highly detailed depiction of a Baroque-style monstrance. Its radiant sunburst crown, central circular chamber, cross finial, and intricate tiered base are rendered with remarkable depth. The monstrance stands within an ornate shield-shaped frame decorated with curved borders. The inscriptions TWENTY and DOLLARS appear on the left and right sides of the frame, while stylized scrollwork accents the lower edge. The polished fields and frosted reliefs create a strong cameo effect characteristic of high-grade Proof strikes.

The obverse presents a classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a jeweled crown with floral motifs and a pearl necklace. Her profile is finely sculpted, with crisp curls and smooth cameo contrast. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions ELIZABETH THE SECOND, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, and the year 1985.

Made of fine silver and representing an object of deep historical and spiritual significance, this coin appeals to collectors of religious-themed numismatics, Proof silver issues, and British Overseas Territories commemoratives. Its PR69 certification further enhances its desirability and investment appeal.
