Additional information

The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory with no independent monetary policy, issued a long series of commemorative crowns throughout the 1980s and 1990s — effectively a revenue program dressed as numismatic celebration. This piece marks Brazil's four World Cup victories to that point (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 being the next), making 1993 an odd vintage: Brazil had not yet won the tournament they would claim the following year in the United States.

The KM#91 attribution places it squarely in that prolific commemorative run, struck for collector markets rather than circulation.
