Coin Highlights:
It is particularly apt that this coin is being issued on behalf of the Government of the British Virgin Islands as, during the reign of Queen Victoria, the harvesting of salt was an annual tradition on Salt Island. The residents would gather once a year to harvest the salt from the lake and it became customary for the Administrator of the Virgin Islands and later the Government of the Virgin Islands to send one pound of salt to the Monarch on their birthday. This tradition disappeared but in 2015 this tradition was renewed and for the first time in many years a pound of salt from Salt Islands was presented to the Sovereign.
A legend returns! This coin is a recreation of the beautiful and famous Una & the Lion design of 1839 which was created by 19th century numismatic sculptor William Wyon. It is recognized as one of the most beautiful British coins ever struck!
Coin Highlights:
- Limited mintage of 50,000 coins
- Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
