| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl necklace, and a drop earring, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair detail. The portrait, designed by Luigi Senerchia Badia (initials 'LB' visible at the bust truncation), is centrally positioned in the field. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS' along the upper arc, with the date '1998' to the left of the effigy and the denomination '20 CROWNS' along the lower arc, separated by raised dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Turks and Caicos Islands used the crown — denominated in multiples tied loosely to the US dollar — almost exclusively for commemorative issues rather than genuine circulation. By 1998, the series had become a vehicle for wildlife themes aimed squarely at collector markets, with bottlenose dolphin subjects appearing across multiple Commonwealth territories simultaneously as part of coordinated bullion-adjacent programs.
KM#217 is one of several dolphin-themed crowns struck for the islands in this period, making individual issues easy to conflate in dealer inventories.
