The Cayman Islands Currency Board was established in 1972, and this note comes from the first substantive series it issued — a government body replacing the Jamaican dollar as legal tender on a territory that had only formally separated from Jamaica's administrative structure in 1959. The CI dollar was pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate that has held, unchanged, ever since.
De La Rue printed this series during a period when the firm held contracts across much of the British Caribbean. The watermark is the sole mechanical security feature — no security thread.
