| Additional information |
Issued the year before her 100th birthday, this coin anticipates what became a global commemorative frenzy surrounding Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's centennial in 2000. The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, leaned heavily on royal commemoratives throughout the 1990s as a revenue stream — collector-market issues rather than circulating coinage.
