| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands adopted the crown as a commemorative denomination in the 1970s specifically to participate in the collector coin market — the islands have no meaningful domestic coin circulation, using the US dollar for all practical transactions. This piece belongs to a series marking the quincentenary of Columbus's 1492 voyage, an anniversary that generated commemorative issues from dozens of mints worldwide, most of them undistinguished. The KM#67.2 designation indicates a revised variety, distinguished from KM#67.1 by a detail in the die preparation or edge treatment.
