Interesting fact
The 1998 Turks and Caicos Islands 20 Crowns coin featuring a bottlenose dolphin is a unique and interesting piece. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was designed by the well-known wildlife artist, Robert E. Marstella. Marstella is known for his beautiful depictions of marine life, and his design of the bottlenose dolphin on this coin is no exception. The coin's design captures the grace and beauty of the dolphin in a way that is both realistic and visually striking. This coin is a great example of the attention to detail and artistry that goes into the design of collectible coins.
