British Virgin Islands 20 dollars Gold Ecsudo PR69 PCGS proof silver coin 1985

The British Virgin Islands 20 Dollars 1985 “Gold Escudo” silver coin pays tribute to the historic 1733 8 Escudos — one of the most iconic gold coins of the Spanish colonial era. Struck in Proof and certified PR69 PCGS, this issue combines exceptional mirror fields with deep cameo contrast, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of world numismatics.

The reverse showcases two overlapping depictions of classic Spanish coinage: one featuring the crowned royal shield with lions, castles, and the Pillars of Hercules, and the other showing a right-facing bust surrounded by Latin inscriptions and the date 1733. These designs sit above stylized wave patterns, with the large inscription TWENTY DOLLARS arching across the upper edge. A fleur-de-lis symbol completes the composition.

The obverse presents a refined portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a jeweled crown and pearl necklace. Her hair curls, facial contours, and the polished cameo finish are rendered with high precision. Surrounding inscriptions read ELIZABETH THE SECOND, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, and the year 1985.

Made of fine silver and designed to honor numismatic history, this Proof issue brings together elegance, historical resonance, and exceptional preservation — perfect for enhancing any collection focused on colonial coinage themes or modern commemorative strikes.
