Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed specifically for the Cayman Islands. The portrait was created by sculptor and engraver, Arnold Machin, and it shows the Queen wearing a crown and facing to the right, unlike the more common portraits of her that face to the left. This distinctive design makes the coin stand out from other coins featuring the Queen's image and adds to its collectibility.
