| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Queen Mother's 101st birthday in 2001, this piece was struck during the final year of her life — she died in March 2002 at 101. The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, had by this point developed a reputation for producing commemorative silver aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation, with royal family subjects among their most frequently issued types.
