Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a representation of the caravel "Pinta" on the other. The caravel was one of the three ships that Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage to the Americas in 1492. The coin's design serves as a nod to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Turks and Caicos Islands, which were once a popular stopping point for ships sailing between Europe and the New World.
