Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of D-Day, which is significant because the Turks and Caicos Islands were used as a staging ground for Allied forces during World War II. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "D-Day 50th Anniversary" inscribed above her, with the year "1994" below. The coin's silver content and weight also add to its value and collectibility.
