In the months and years immediately following his assassination in 1865, there were calls in Washington D.C. to erect a monument in honor of the 16^th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The first memorial in honor of the slain president was erected in front of City Hall in Washington D.C. in 1868.

However, it would be another several decades until a fitting monument was built to honor the man responsible for preserving the Union with a northern victory in the Civil War. Construction on the Lincoln Memorial began in 1914 and would not be completed until 1922. When it was done, a brilliant Greek-revival hall stood on the National Mall with a towering statue of a seated President Abraham Lincoln inside.

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of these 2022 Proof BVI Silver 100^th Anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial Coins. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head.

The statue of President Abraham Lincoln from within the Lincoln Memorial features in the reverse design of 2022 5 oz Proof Silver 100^th Anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial Coins. This design shows the impressive, seated statue of President Lincoln. Beneath this visual, you will find a gold-clad US Penny from the era of the Lincoln Memorial reverse. These coins were issued by the US Mint from 1959 to 2008.

These 2022 5 oz Proof British Virgin Islands Silver 100^th Anniversary Lincoln Memorial Coins are available in a red presentation case from the Pobjoy Mint with a Certificate of Authenticity included.
