Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Unicorn of Scotland, a mythical creature that has been associated with Scottish folklore for centuries. The unicorn is depicted on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of thistles, which is the national flower of Scotland. This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other coins issued by the Turks and Caicos Islands or the British Overseas Territories.
