Brief Turks and Caicos Islands History

The islands were part of the United Kingdom's Jamaican colony until 1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crown colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence, the islands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independence was agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islands are presently a British Overseas Territory.

Turks and Caicos Islands Coinage

Turks and Caicos issued its own coins for the first time only in 1974. Only commemorative coins appear to be issued as the US dollar is used as the normal circulation currency. A Turks and Caicos crown is equivalent to one US dollar.
We usually have in stock at least a few Turks and Caicos coins. The mintage figures tend to be quite low, although perhaps this is to expected with a population of about 19,350.

Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II

The Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was the international celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II to the thrones of seven countries, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952, and was intended by the Queen to be both a commemoration of her 50 years as monarch and an opportunity for her to officially and personally thank her people for their loyalty. Despite the death of the Queen's sister and mother in February and March, respectively, of 2002, and predictions in the media that the anniversary would be a non-event, the jubilee was marked with large-scale and popular events throughout London in June of the same year, book-ended by events throughout the other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth attended all of the official celebrations as scheduled, along with her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; over twelve months, the royal couple journeyed more than 40,000 miles to the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, then around the United Kingdom, and wrapped up the jubilee year in Canada Numerous landmarks, parks, buildings, and the like, were also named in honour of the golden jubilee and commemorative medals, stamps, and other symbols were issued.
