Interesting fact
The 1996 Turks and Caicos Islands Elizabeth II (Rocket) coin is unique in that it features a rocket ship on the reverse side, which is unusual for a coin featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The inclusion of the rocket ship is likely a nod to the territory's involvement in the space industry, as the Turks and Caicos Islands have been used as a launch site for several space missions. This coin is a rare and interesting collector's item for those interested in space-themed coins or the history of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
