| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands issued a series of five-crown copper-nickel pieces in the early 1990s targeting the collector and tourist market rather than circulation — the islands' de facto currency being the U.S. dollar. KM#125 falls within that commemorative program, which covered a scatter of international sporting subjects with no particular geographic connection to the territory issuing them.
