| Reverse description | The central field features a group of athletes representing multiple Olympic disciplines: a basketball player, a gymnast performing a handstand, a rifle shooter in prone position, and a canoeist, all arranged around a centrally placed Olympic torch with flame. The composition is framed by two laurel branches meeting at the base. The circular legend 'ALBERTVILLE FRANCE · OLYMPIC GAMES 1992 · BARCELONA SPAIN' runs along the periphery, commemorating both the 1992 Winter Games at Albertville and the Summer Games at Barcelona. |

| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands issued a run of commemorative crowns through the late 1980s and early 1990s, largely targeting the collector market rather than circulation — the territory's de facto currency remained the US dollar throughout. This 1992 piece tied to the Barcelona Games, the first Summer Olympics following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which meant a fragmented Unified Team competing under the Olympic flag rather than any national banner.
