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 two troy ounces (2oz) of silver size. The coins listed below were released at prices much higher than the intrinsic value of the metal, so are considered Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT), and not bullion. |
