| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Griffin of Edward III, one of the Ten Queen's Beasts, rendered in high relief as a heraldic griffin passant, wings displayed, supporting a crowned shield charged with the royal arms. The denomination '25' appears to the left of the griffin and 'CROWNS' to the right, effectively flanking the central device. The upper legend 'TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS' arcs around the upper periphery, while 'THE GRIFFIN OF EDWARD III' curves along the lower periphery. The overall composition is set against deeply mirrored proof fields, emphasising the sculptural quality of the heraldic beast. |
