Winner of the 2007 Coin of the Year Award for Most Innovative Coin.

Louis and Auguste Lumière were pioneer contributors to the birth of film, however their interest in the medium turned out to be brief, so they decided to turn their talents to photography. In 1903 they patented a colour photograph process, the 'Autochrome Lumière' which was launched on the market in 1907, making this year the 100th Anniversary.

To commemorate this event, Pobjoy Mint has produced on behalf of the British Virgin Islands Government a very special 5oz Fine Silver coin which depicts the Lumière Brothers but what makes this coin extra special is the unique photo frame inset into the coin, allowing you to personalize this spectacular coin for yourself, a family member or a special friend.
