| Additional information |
Trinidad and Tobago's monetary authority was established in 1964, just two years after independence from Britain, and the coin series it developed through the 1970s and into the 1980s drew on designs rooted in the country's natural heritage rather than colonial imagery. The 1983–1984 date range reflects routine production rather than any particular political or economic event, though the early 1980s did coincide with the tail end of an oil-driven economic boom that had defined the previous decade.
KM#54 is a straightforward circulating type with no major documented die varieties of note.
