| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The legend commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Coronation arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1978 positioned in the lower field. The portrait is uncrowned and draped, consistent with the standard second-generation effigy used on Commonwealth issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The White Lion of Mortimer was one of ten heraldic beasts erected at the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953, drawn from the genealogical lineage of the House of Tudor. The Turks and Caicos Islands issued this series in the late 1970s as the islands navigated an awkward constitutional moment — a 1976 independence referendum had returned an unexpected pro-Crown majority, and royal commemorative issues proliferated in the territory through this period, partly as an assertion of that outcome.
KM#33 belongs to a broader Queens Beasts silver program circulating among smaller Commonwealth territories at the time. The .925 silver content places it at sterling standard, and at 43.75 g it is a substantial strike — production was handled for the territory by the Royal Mint.
