The Virgin Islands, an official U.S. territory, is comprised of a group of islands and islets located in the Caribbean. One of those islands, St. Coix, is home to the Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve established by Congress in 1992. This park serves to protect and assist threatened and endangered species by preserving the watersheds, mangrove forests, and marine environments these species inhabit. The design on this Virgin Islands coin depicts a Red Mangrove Tree, one of the threatened species protected by the Salt River Bay Preserve. Because its roots are continuously growing, some refer to the Red Mangrove as a “Walking Tree”, as it appears the tree is occasionally walking on water. These trees provide an essential service to their surrounding ecosystem. They give habitat to crustaceans, fish, birds, mammals, and reptiles. Additionally, they help form large coastal forests throughout the tropics. 

On the obverse, George Washington’s bust, the same design used on quarters for over 80 years, appears. 

The reverse showcases a Red Mangrove tree sapling as it grows in the saltwater of Salt River Bay. Its roots are clearly displayed rising above the water’s surface.
