Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in her coronation regalia, which was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This design was specifically commissioned for the Turks and Caicos Islands, and it sets the coin apart from other coins in the British Overseas Territories series.
