| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands are depicted centrally, featuring a shield charged with a lobster, a conch shell, and a cactus, supported by two flamingos rampant on either side. A pelican with spread wings surmounts the crest above the shield. The legend TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination FIVE CROWNS and the date 1995 appear in the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief against a smooth field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Turks and Caicos Islands had no independent mint authority and issued commemorative crowns throughout the 1980s and 1990s almost entirely as a revenue mechanism, contracting production to outside facilities for collector sales rather than circulation. This piece marks the 50th anniversary of the Allied victory in Europe, a theme struck to death across Commonwealth territories in 1995 — nearly every British overseas dependency issued something for VE-Day that year.
KM#136 is a standard copper-nickel crown of the type the islands produced prolifically during this period, almost none of which saw a day of actual commerce.
