| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II, this piece commemorates Queen Anne's 1670 grant of the Cayman Islands to Francis, Lord Willoughby — the legal foundation of British possession that persisted through every subsequent constitutional arrangement. The Cayman Islands had no resident governor of their own until 1959, administered for centuries as a dependency of Jamaica.
The .500 fineness is notably low for a commemorative gold issue of this period, a deliberate cost decision that kept the piece accessible to the collector market without sacrificing the gold designation entirely.
