The commemorative quarter-dollar coin honoring the United States Virgin Islands was officially launched Friday, Oct. 9 by United States Mint Deputy Director Andy Brunhart and United States Virgin Islands Governor John P. deJongh Jr.
"The United States Virgin Islands commemorative quarter-dollar coin reflects a rich culture steeped in the outstanding natural beauty of the three islands," said United States Mint Director Ed Moy.
The United States Virgin Islands quarter was released into circulation on September 28. The coin's reverse (tails side) design features an outline of the territory's three major islands. The design also includes the Yellow Breast or Bananaquit, the official bird of the United States Virgin Islands; the Yellow Cedar or Yellow Elder, its official flower; and a Tyre Palm Tree. Inscriptions on the coin's reverse are U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS and United in Pride and Hope.
