| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fortieth anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession, this piece belongs to a wave of Commonwealth commemorative coinage produced for the 1992 jubilee. The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory with no central bank of its own, uses the US dollar as its de facto currency — meaning crowns like this one were struck purely for collector sale, never entering circulation in any practical sense.
