| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Arnold Machin, wearing a tiara and with hair swept upward. The legend CAYMAN ISLANDS arcs along the left periphery and ELIZABETH II along the right periphery, both in raised capital letters. The date 1977 appears in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. The highly polished proof fields provide a strong cameo contrast against the frosted relief of the effigy. |
