| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands adopted the US dollar as official currency in 1969, which makes their crown series an oddity — legal tender denominated in crowns, a unit with no practical exchange role, issued almost entirely for the collector market. This 1992 piece marks the 40th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession, pairing her with George VI in a commemorative conceit that was commercially reliable enough to anchor dozens of similar issues from the islands across the 1980s and 1990s.
KM#85 is copper-nickel, not silver — worth noting given that identical crown-sized pieces from this issuer exist in both compositions, and the distinction is not always obvious at a glance.
