| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands have issued commemoratives under British sovereignty since the 1970s, with their crown-series coins struck largely for the collector market rather than circulation. This 1998 piece was timed to the global Titanic frenzy touched off by James Cameron's film, released in December 1997 — one of dozens of numismatic issues worldwide that rode that wave. The Pobjoy Mint handled much of the territory's commemorative output during this period.
