Interesting fact

The Black Bull of Clarence on the 1978 Turks and Caicos Islands 25 Crowns coin is a rare and unique feature, as it is not a common design element on coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II. The Black Bull of Clarence is a heraldic symbol associated with the British royal family, and its inclusion on this coin adds to its collectibility and numismatic value.
