| Obverse description | Youthful right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with fine detail in the hair and tiara. The CHI mint mark appears to the left of the bust. The circular legend ELIZABETH II · TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1982 is positioned prominently at the base below the effigy. |

| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands had no meaningful domestic football tradition in 1982, making this issue — timed to the FIFA World Cup held in Spain — a frankly opportunistic commemorative produced for the collector market rather than any genuine national connection to the sport. The territory was a favored vehicle for such issues in the late 1970s and early 1980s, its Crown denominations minted almost exclusively for export sale through Franklin Mint-style distribution channels.
