Turks and Caicos Islands issued this piece as part of a wave of commemorative coinage that flooded the market in the early 1990s, when dozens of small British territories discovered that licensing historical anniversaries to private minting houses was more lucrative than managing any actual monetary policy. The 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing was among the most heavily exploited themes of that cycle — struck for Niue, the Marshall Islands, the Cook Islands, and several others in near-identical programs.
KM#132 saw no meaningful circulation. The islands' actual commerce ran on the US dollar.
