Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, with a rocket ship blasting off behind her. This design was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, which was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. The coin's design is a nod to the Turks and Caicos Islands' connection to space exploration, as the territory's proximity to the equator makes it an ideal location for launching rockets into space.
