100 Dollars - Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee

The Cayman Islands issued this piece to mark the 25th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession, joining a wave of Commonwealth territories producing commemorative gold that year. The .500 fineness is worth noting — it reflects a deliberate cost-control decision, keeping gold content accessible for a territory whose numismatic program was still relatively young, having only begun issuing its own coinage after separation from Jamaica in 1972.
