| Additional information |
Issued ahead of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative silver poured out by smaller British Overseas Territories throughout the 1990s — jurisdictions with no Olympic team of their own but full authority to issue legal tender. The Turks and Caicos adopted the US dollar as their official currency decades prior, making crown-denomination pieces like this purely commemorative from the moment of striking.
