| Additional information |
Uruguay's two World Cup victories — 1930 on home soil and 1950 in Brazil, where they stunned the host nation in the deciding match before 200,000 people at the Maracanã — remain the entirety of their championship record. The Turks and Caicos Islands issued a long series of copper-nickel crowns throughout the 1980s and 1990s targeting the collector market, this piece among dozens of sporting commemoratives that saw negligible circulation on the islands themselves.
