| Additional information |
The Turks and Caicos Islands maintained the US dollar as legal tender while periodically issuing crown-sized commemoratives with no real circulation function — collectibles dressed as coinage. This 2004 piece marks the Golden Jubilee commemorative cycle that stretched across multiple British Overseas Territories, each issuing variants on royal regalia themes to coincide with Elizabeth II's fifty-year reign anniversary, celebrated in 2002 and trailing into subsequent years.
KM#290 is copper-nickel, not silver — a detail that separates the budget issue from the proof silver companion struck for the same market.
