| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands adopted the crown as their official currency unit in 1969, pegged directly to the US dollar at a rate of one crown to one dollar — an arrangement that made the coinage largely ceremonial from the outset, with US currency handling virtually all actual commerce. The 1993 five crowns fits squarely in that tradition: a collector-targeted commemorative that saw little to no pocket wear.
KM# 12 is cataloged as part of a broader wave of sports-themed issues the islands produced through the early 1990s, coinciding with increased IOC and FIFA licensing activity across small-nation mints.
