Interesting fact
The 1996 Turks and Caicos Islands $20 Silver Coin commemorating Queen Elizabeth II's 70th birthday is a unique and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare portrait of the Queen, designed specifically for this issue by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrait was not used on any other coins, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin. Additionally, the coin's mintage was limited to only 25,000 pieces, which adds to its rarity and collectibility.
