Silver Five Ounces (5 oz), Bullion, Coin Type from British Virgin Islands - detailed information

The British overseas territory of the Virgin Islands has used the United States Dollar as its currency since 1959 - even before it gained autonomy in 1967. However, the territory has also authorised a number of mints to issue non-circulating and bullion coins under its name, denominated in British Virgin Islands Dollars. These do not circulate as regular currency, and are targeted at collectors, or investors in precious metals.

One of the formats used for the purpose is the internationally popular very large five troy ounces (5oz) of silver size.
