Interesting fact

The 1993 Turks and Caicos Islands Elizabeth II (Apollo 11) 20 Crowns silver coin features an error in the coin's design. The coin's reverse side shows an image of the Apollo 11 lunar module, but the module's descent stage is depicted upside down. This error was not corrected in the coin's production, making it a unique and interesting collector's item.
