British Virgin Islands 25 cents Blue Marlin Fish PR69 PCGS silver coin 1985

The 1985 British Virgin Islands 25 Cents “Blue Marlin” proof silver coin captures the dynamic beauty of one of the Caribbean’s most iconic marine creatures. On the reverse, a powerful blue marlin bursts from the waves, its elongated bill, sweeping dorsal fin and muscular body rendered in fine detail. Surrounding the marlin are churning water splashes that add motion to the scene, while the large denomination “25” and the word “CENTS” curve boldly along the upper right, standing out against the deep mirrored proof field. The composition celebrates the region’s rich ocean wildlife and sport-fishing heritage.

The obverse presents a refined portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, featuring her ornate crown, earrings, necklace and finely detailed curls. The surrounding inscription “ELIZABETH THE SECOND • BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS • 1985” frames the portrait elegantly, with strong cameo contrast highlighting the precision of the strike.

Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish and certified PCGS PR69DCAM, this coin offers near-perfect quality and exceptional visual clarity. As part of a collectible series featuring local wildlife, it appeals to numismatists who value marine themes, detailed engraving and the pristine condition of high-grade certified coins.
