Offered here is the exact 1982-FM British Virgin Islands $25 Red-Tailed Hawk Gold Proof pictured, struck by the Franklin Mint and certified by NGC as PF 70 Ultra Cameo. This is an unusually attractive Caribbean wildlife gold issue represented here in a perfect NGC grade with a current PF70 Ultra Cameo population of only 6.

The reverse features a dramatic red-tailed hawk in flight, with its wings raised and talons extended. The compact format and deeply mirrored Proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted hawk, making the wildlife design particularly striking despite the coin\'s small size.

The obverse features the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin, together with the British Virgin Islands identification and 1982 date.

This issue was struck by the Franklin Mint in Wawa, Pennsylvania, and carries the FM designation. The coin weighs approximately 1.5 grams, is composed of .500 fine gold, and contains approximately 0.0241 troy ounce of actual gold weight. Its original mintage was 3,819 coins.

This exact example has been certified NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo, the highest numerical grade available. At the time of listing, NGC reports only 6 examples graded PF70 Ultra Cameo, with 0 graded higher.

The coin is also housed with NGC\'s distinctive The Caribbean label, which complements both the British Virgin Islands origin and the tropical wildlife theme of the issue.

The combination of the Red-Tailed Hawk subject, perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo certification, current NGC population of only 6, gold composition and Caribbean presentation makes this a distinctive certified modern world gold collectible.
