| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands issued a run of commemorative crowns through the late 1980s and 1990s targeting the collector market almost exclusively — circulation was never the point. This 1993 Apollo 11 piece arrives nearly a quarter-century after the 1969 landing, which places it firmly in the wave of anniversary-adjacent issues that flooded the numismatic market during that decade rather than any specific jubilee year.
The KM#181 copper-nickel striking has no particular rarity or variety interest noted in the series.
