| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands adopted the crown as a collectors' denomination in the 1970s and 1980s, issuing a steady stream of commemorative silver pieces tied to major international sporting events. This piece was struck for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics — the Games famously boycotted by the Soviet Union and most Eastern Bloc nations in retaliation for the U.S.-led boycott of Moscow four years earlier, a dynamic that inflated American and Western medal counts and colored the event's historical record ever since.
