Interesting fact
The 1994 Turks and Caicos Islands 5 Crowns coin commemorating D-Day and featuring Bernard L. Montgomery is a unique and interesting coin for several reasons. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency but rather as a collector's item. This limited circulation adds to its exclusivity and makes it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
