British Virgin islands 10 cents Great Barracuda Fish PR69 PCGS silver coin 1985

The British Virgin Islands 10 Cents 1985 silver Proof coin, certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, is a finely crafted tribute to the marine fauna of the Caribbean. Its reverse displays the sleek and powerful Great Barracuda, shown in two dynamic positions. The upper barracuda swims horizontally with its elongated body, pointed snout and textured scales clearly visible, while the lower one glides above stylised coral branches and underwater plants. The mirrored background amplifies the contrast with the frosted relief, and the denomination 10 CENTS appears boldly at the top, integrated into the design.

The obverse carries the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscription ELIZABETH THE SECOND • BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS • 1985. Her floral crown, soft curls and draped gown are rendered with sharp engraving characteristic of Franklin Mint work in the mid-1980s.

Part of a collectible marine-life themed series, this silver Proof coin combines scientific accuracy with elegant composition. The PR69 grade highlights its near-flawless surfaces and deep cameo effect, making it an excellent choice for collectors of wildlife motifs, Caribbean issues and high-grade numismatics.
